Hi Jan!
So many people had build the tiny dropship! perhaps you can show your finished parts of the Sulaco with the dropship as size reference??? PLEASE:rolleyes: That will be really great for us (I think so)

BTW: I love again your texture work:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Greetings

For structural strength, I plan to use a lot of 1mm card to re-inforce each block to form a very strong and rigid infrastructure.

Looking at the way the model is constructed (the inner blocks - which form double-layer ribs where glued together - with the layers of the outer hull glued to them) I don`t think that this is necessary. I guess it will be a very strong model at the end without any additional reinforcements.

You win the respect of your peers, and an all-expense paid tour of the "Holiday Home For Pets Meat Pie Company" :)

Seriously, that model is amazing. It may be tiny in stature, but it is huge, as accomplishments go. Well done.

Open the dropship bay doors Bishop!

I'm afraid I can't do that, Ripley...
