The problem is here, and I hope they jump on it quick. It is getting ..........well..............aaargh!

I think everyone is frustrated about this.

Connecting the primary and secondary hull together. There is a signifigant gap on the main part the secondary hull sets on. Not sure how I messed it up, but a painted shim will fix that. As you can see, I am running out of work space. The kitchen table is next.

Coming along beautifully. Almost done.

Don't forget to internally brace those engine arm supports, or they'll sag!

Very very nice.

It really is coming along quite nicely. It's big, and that is really cool. :)

Looks awesome! And like Zathros said, I love our work area. Mine is the dining room table. Fortunately, the kids are all still pretty short.

My house is the neighborhood flophouse for my teenage daughters click. I only get the dinner table during school hours.

Very beautiful build. The gloss card really makes it stand out. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
I was thinking about dull coating it when it is finished....but the gloss is growing on me.
Looks great! The Bridge work really makes it stand out. Great job on those observation domes.
Those bridge assemblies (all 4), have been the most challenging to assemble, especially the large aft bridge. For the domes, I was looking for a lower profile, and the plumber washer an dolls eye worked well. I will later use paper strips to tie them into the hull better.
No pics to add today. I'm working on the engine arms. Nothing too visual.
