      Fiddled around with the bridge. Shrank the lower half height and made the windows just slightly larger. Also cleaned up the neck.

      The face and line joins of the neck to the bridge is not exact yet.

        Almost there.

        All main modules completed. Started details. Barring future discoveries of badly shaped modules, it's just detailing from here onward.

        As tuna said, I'm now rounding third and headed for home. Finally.

          These are so brilliant works done using SketchUp. I may never imagine being able and patient to model such a thing using SketchUp. πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

              Thanks majid. I did not think it would take 5 months to model this or I might not have started. Granted, I only worked on it a few hours at a time, but still, it has not taken me 5 months to model anything in years.

              Thanks L i am. πŸ‘ I'm ready to finish this and start other projects.

              I've learned a lot from this model. Things I wish I had learned years ago. When I get a new PC, there will be more epic models. πŸ‘

                πŸ‘ what a great example of both - the cool model itself and that, besides skills, patience and persistence pays off πŸ‘

                      So close. So, so close to being finished.

                      The details are really making it pop.

                        Maybe another week or two and it should be finished.

                          It's finished.

                          I could detail this for the rest of the year, but all my references have gotten to the point where the "rivets" no longer match each other. So this is it.

                          I'll post a scene in the main gallery and the model as well.

                          Whew! πŸŽ‰

                          If anyone has request for close-ups of certain sections, let me know and I'll post them here.

                                    Final.

                                    Go back to the previous posts for the rest of finished model images. They start on the previous page. Many more images with good close-ups.

                                            Thanks Mike!

                                            I think I'm taking some time off. It's getting too hard to use SU on this old laptop. I have to fight it every time I want to use it. And rending is also becoming a struggle. Hours and days to set up a scene that should take a day at most. It's like using a dull tool.

                                            I'll be making more models when I have a new laptop. Right now, unless I'm absolutely compelled by the muses, no more complex models.
