@zathros, I tried your solution but, as you described, it is not feasible for two reasons. The first reason is that the ring's structure is weak, even if now having reinforced the junctions with cyanoacrylic glue no more detachment occurs. Thus it would still be necessary to extend the central...

run-through

I think I found the solution. Looking for someone who had already built the Endurance, I found a German model maker (mk310149) who has adopted a simple and effective solution, at least in a vertical position. As you can see from the picture, he crossed with a wooden rod the main connecting...

Do you mean something like this?

Thanks for the suggestion, but given the complexity of the individual elements of the tunnel and the modules you would have to design an internal structure that would fit and support the entire ring, so you would have to redo the model by inserting the internal armature from the beginning...

The good news is that I completed the model by gluing the parts of the ring, minus the central hub, but ... Houston, we've had a problem ... It's a big problem, actually two. The first concerns bonding. I wanted to try to use a plasticizer to protect the color, but this made gluing with...

Thank you all for your kindness and expectation. Here just a fitting test with each module glued on one side with his connector. Best Nando :)

The rangers have less parts but an intricate shape, and it was tricky keep symmetry and avoid the twisting. The angle is wrong, but after some adjustment it's all right now. Finally all the components of the central hub can go together, and they form a impressive ensemble, so...

The connectors for the Rangers Next the Lander The central hub and the lander seem to me very heavy, and I think that I'm putting only one magnet and not two as suggests the sensei. The single neodymium magnet is strong enough ( a strength of 1.9 kg ) Next the second lander...

I already did it when I uploaded the base for my Moon Liner, but, like that time, I'm usually doing specific model stands (see my Collier's Ferry Rocket), and this time some friend suggested to use Lexam for the curved wall paper and so also the base should be wooden. At the end not so much...

Hi Tonino, I think my neodymium magnets are strong enough and I should not have problems with landers and shuttles. I will also double them as the sensei suggests. I did some simulation. Not in scale at the moment, just a visualization. Which one do you prefer? I prefer the first one, the...

I completed the blue group and I put all the parts together, assembling the connectors of the tunnel. Here some picture. Now we can start with the central docking hub May be it is too soon, but I began to think about how to display the model. Any suggestion? Best, Nando

Yes, I'd like to expose the model in the appropriate context ;) No better name for this model I guess, and I had to apply all my endurance to form all those wheels: I had to trim each disc with his ring, slowly working it with sandpaper. So the green group is complete. The blue group is...

Another batch of connectors on the tunnel elements: the red group (cupola). Next the green group Best, Nando

I can't upload pics :(:cool:

I can't upload pictures :sadno:

After starting and then hanging out a model of UHU02 ( the Orion III model ), I decided to try again with something simpler, or at least I hope so. So I started to build the model of the starship protagonist of the movie Interstellar, the Endurance designed by UHU02...

Thanks Tonino. It was a long journey and I hope the result could be satisfactory.

Well, I'm happy to announce that I completed the model, and now it is available for free here. Jonathan Leslie has been so kind to host the model on his site, where hosted in the past my others models. Enjoy it, Nando :)
