Looking great.

So what material is it going to be, I saw the drawings but they do not give much of an idea of what it's made of, looks like an aluminum of sorts.

In the days of this design, white was the preferred color for most things "space".

Bryan that looks great, I don't think I would have the patience to model something like that accurately.

Says the person who just modeled the coolest Tinkerbell I have ever seen with more gears than a Swiss watch.

Besides that, thanks.

But my tink is just made up as I go, nothing needs to be right, whereas yours has to look like the original.

Eventually I will be posting my own designs and have already, but I still need to master SketchUp and the only way I can think to do that is to recreate previously designed things. So why not try the masters?

I'm also a huge fan of sci fi.
