I need you to come over and help me restart my build. Just can't do it as every time I look at it, it's just overwhelming. Let's get it up on the stands and get the underside throat section boxed up so I can get detailing!

Ok, it's time for you to get cracking, enough of that now! You think looking at yours and the work to do is overwhelming? You should see how things are for us just getting started. I'm sure it hard at times to get the motivation to hit it again especially as it's been going on for so long. But hit it again you will and finish it hopefully sometime pretty bloody soon. Sounds like a plan, turn it over and hit them areas then if thats what you want to do. Not sure what help i can really be but i guess i could bring a stick over and prod ya till ya get cracking?
You just need to look at how little you have to do there and not think of it the other way, afterall, it's almost there really. Depending on what time ya get home perhaps Friday night i can drop in?(06-12-2012, 04:28 PM)dbhs Wrote: Hey Phil,
Looking good, mate!
That dome press is a great trick....very clever. Wow, the greeblie action in those pics up above is incredible. Makes the shuttle look like a piece of cake in comparison (and I know how long I struggled on that one).
You're going to have yourself a Battlestar before long!
Thanks there mate!!
You know i might have an 80% done bottom of the body of a SS Battlestar soon but thats about it. I don't think i wanna look at how much there is still to do really. I was looking at the underside of the neck the other day and thinking that area alone is gonna take me forever ta do. This thing really seems to suck up the hours and afterwards i can hardly notice what has been added in that time. I don't know where the time actually goes?? I know i'm slow, but am i that slow??
The shuttles took us how long? This thing is gonna gonna be a looooong build using that as any sort of guide. What have i got myself into??
