Interstellar earned a spectacular 5 academy award nominations this morning! I personally thought it deserved a nom for best picture as well, but I'm completely perplexed as to how it didn't get nominated for best cinematography, seeing as how it was considered by many a frontrunner to win that one.
Anyways, I've finally completed the final docking port! The finished ring measures a whopping 13.5 inches across (not quite as big as expected, but certainly big enough)
Up next, I plan to start working on the central docking hub. I have an idea for a stand for the model. It will have 4 posts of different heights, each of which will have an angled "hand" piece for one of the modules of the ship to sit on. This will hopefully display it at a nice angle AND in a way that I can rotate it to also show the backside, as there is a lot of detail work there.
Without further ado, here are the build pics:

I realized that after doing two, but decided to do the other two the same way, as nobody is really likely to notice unless they have eyes as clean as yoursI hate to be raining on your parade but I just noticed that you might have glued "luggage compartments" of the habitat modules wrongly (it's upside-down)

:jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:I am so impressed by how perfect you made this model. These huge pictures would show any defects, and the bigger the pic, the better the model looks! I see a Model of the Month, I guarantee, when finished, a "Model of the Month", to be soon renamed something a bit shorter! (well, not "Something a bit sorter", a shorter title......HehHehHeh)
