Another of the docking hub connector modules finished: I've decided its probably about time to start thinking about a stand. Any ideas/suggestions?

this build is INCREDIBLE! You have put an astounding level of detail work into your model and the end result is phenomenal

More progress: the first of the four docking port connector tunnels. This one was significantly trickier and more intricate than the others, but I'm still quite pleased with the result. I put a magnet inside in order to have the option of docking one of the Rangers there once the model is...

I apologize for the lack of updates over the last few days. Winter break is over, so I don't have as much free time to work on the model. My latest bit of progress is the first of the 2 Landers. I put a magnet underneath each of the docking hubs, which I reinforced with extra layers of paper...

my thoughts exactly :) the model itself looks incredible, which seems to be the usual for an UHU model ;)

the model build looks GREAT! I looked the movie up on rottentomatoes and it only gets 33% :/

@Cybergrinder @gilgamesch Thanks a lot! I really appreciate everyone's kind words. I've now finished the eighth of the connector tunnels. The magnets have arrived, but I plan on building one of the Rangers or Landers next, as I need a break from the monotony of continually building almost the...

Aaaaaaaaaaaand another connector tunnel is now finished and installed. I have one more left to make before I will need the magnets to arrive in order to continue

Slooooowly pressing forward. I've got one connector done and another partially assembled, but still drying, so I'll post pictures of that in a little while. For now, here is what I've completed since yesterday:

Two more Connection Tunnels finished and installed:

Last progress update for the day: Third Ring Connector Tunnel completed and installed. The model is starting to take shape, and I'm quite proud of how it's turning out. It seems sturdy enough so far, so my fingers are crossed that doesn't change.

More new progress: second ring connector tunnel piece finished. This one went a little bit faster than the previous one, which I'm hoping will be a recurring trend ;). I'm holding off on the one between the Engine and the Landing pod, because it has a docking port on it, which I need my...

Firstly, I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year. May it be full of papermodelling success! Secondly, I've finished the first of the 12 ring connector tunnels. I'm doing these 1 at a time, because I can't stand repeatedly building the same parts again and again with no breaks in between...

These look AWESOME! I love the gritty feel to the design. I'd love to see pics of how you make these!

More progress: All 12 of the ring connector piece bases are done. Now for the REALLY boring and fiddly but: building the sphere-shaped airlocks to go on to them.

that looks AMAZING!

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: pictures of ALL the modules together. I've measured out approximately the right diameter, so the size shouldn't change TOO much once I build all of the ring connector bits. The triangle in the middle measures six inches by 8-ish centimeters, so...

AAAAAAAAAND… I've FINALLY FINISHED! I just finished the last of the 12 modules: the 4th Cryo-Lab/Habitations/Command/Connector Module. It was a quick and easy build, if a little bit boring. Now I just have to cross my fingers that it'll all fit together when the time comes.

Thank you all for the kind words. I've now finished the final Engine Pod Module (thank goodness). It went just about the same as the others: mostly easy, thrusters a pain in the A$$, and overall I'm happy with the turnout. One more module to go: the final Cryo-Lab/Habitations Module. I...

MORE progress: The third of the four Engine Pod Modules. This went quickly, and I'm VERY satisfied with the turnout. Next up: final engine module and then one more Cryo-Lab/Habitations
