Wow Skoda, you're going great guns on this, it's looking superb! :goldcup:

I still haven't been able to get started on mine due to sorting out my work space but I guess it gives me time to think about where to start. The bow section looks to the most challenging and I am wondering if getting that out of the way first is a good idea.

Awesome Build Skoda, Im impressed. Ive decided to wait till all the downloads are available before I build mine. that way I can still build other things ;)

How hard were the antennea?

Dented - I have just started this build and so far the the rolled antennas have not been too very difficult. But they have been challenging.

I can imagine, I was tempted to scale the ship down and make a 2 foot table top version, but those antennas are kinda scary, especially at the smaller scale :)

I kind of thought the same thing and after rolling my first antenna that thought went right out the window. Since I am having some trouble finding A4 or Legal sized cardstock, I am having to print the model on letter sized paper. So my model will be about 91% the size of the original. But that is the only re-sizing I am doing.

even at about 91%, that's still one Massive model :)

Yes, yes indeed it is massive. But it has lots of detail so its not massive for massive's sake. I would much rather build a massive model with lots of detail than a smaller model that isn't as detailed.

I agree, I was just thinking it would be nice to have a version that can fit on my desk

well the Saluco as built can fit on your desk, you would just have to clear everything else off the desk. :twisted:
