Man, that is one clean build. Most impressive. I don't think this could be built any better!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This is a very clean build. The work, effort and time that you are putting into this is FANTASTIC. It is really coming together beautifully.

 

[Dr. Floyd]

I'll have to politely disagree with both of you. As I study UHU's photos for the assembly process, THAT is a clean build. His pieces look machine cut and his forming and gluing are near flawless.

 

[Zathros]

I think it is a given that UHU is on another level. Of course, he may own some kind of "Star Trek" replicator or something akin to it, and to be quite honest, your model is quite exceptional so far. The last series of photos are quite stunning.

WOW! Looking goooood.!!

You inspire me on this build.

 

[Dr. Floyd]

progress

[Dr. Floyd]

a little more

[Zathros]

Superb! You really are doing a great job building this. Most impressive indeed!

Sooo, I’m a bit embarrassed but it’s been almost 6 years since I last posted! Lots of changes happened, I moved and my 3/4 finished Aries 1-B model was packed away in a box. I’m an artist and have spent the last few years doing a lot of painting. Going through some boxes on Saturday I came upon the model and knew it was time to finish it. I’ve worked a bit on the passenger deck in preparation for the chairs. Those chairs! 24 tiny armchairs that only a madman/creative genius like Uhu02 would do. I remember stopping at the chairs years ago, feeling a bit overwhelmed but I am determined to complete them. My 6 year rest was enough. I plan on working on the Orion shuttle, Moon Bus and Discovery- hopefully not with 6 years in between each

Welcome back! I am glad to see that you are back. I fully understand that real life can interrupt. I dealt with pancreatic cancer almost two years ago. Not only that, but I have gone back to school studying to be a paralegal. So no worries about it taking you so long to return here and to this project.
Once again, welcome back.
I am looking forward to seeing how this will turn out.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Awesome!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Looking forward to see this develop!

 

[zathros]

I've built many 1/2 models of my designs, that's just to see if they were buildable, but I end up not finishing a whole one once I realize it's feasibility. My bad.

Thanks and glad you whipped the cancer!

 

[Dr. Floyd]

Awesome!

thanks a lot. At this point I am budgeting 10 years per UHU model

At this point I am budgeting 10 years per UHU model

It took me 3 1/2 years for his Discovery..............

My build of his EVA pod has ground to a temporary halt......

Just not enough time in life .........

UHU02's models do take quite a bit of time. Especially if you wish to add even more greebles.

I am going to rebuild his Viper MK-II (with added greebles) for a new diorama (once I finish school and am able to adjust to a proper schedule again).

 

[Dr. Floyd]

This chair almost did me in. Only 23 more to go.......

 

[Revell-Fan]

A neat seat!
