I tend to agree somewhat, as it would exclude passing strangers from exploiting the works. However, I'm fairly certain that a pirate would have a hard time tracking UHU's site down, tracking this website down, and then putting it all together, unless they're already a member here. Then...

Thank you so much UHU. Your models are some of my personal favorites. I'm still working on my Discovery model. I heard about your disk crash and the loss of the centrifuge -- that's too bad, it looked beautiful!

You know, it never occurred to me to try that. Figures. :D I have other models I need mid-sized dowel for, so that will actually help in the future. I was at least lucky that the spine nuts fit the size I used. Trying to keep them from spinning (alternately, trying to force them on a dowel...

The gap is lengthwise, as seen below. The kit has parts to wrap the dowel in, but if you use the size of dowel I did, you have a gap. An unfortunate bit of ugliness, but easy enough to cover up to make it unnoticeable. The diameter of the rod is unavoidable for me -- it's the only one that...

You are doing a fantastic job with this model wedge. It looks like it's cast from plastic. I wish I could get my lines as straight as yours. Also, I am ashamed that I had to do a Google search to find out what this ship was. :oops: I had never heard of it before.

Almost completed spine. There's only a few of the brackets that straddle the cone pairs left to do. I'll be on to the next stage soon. I printed at 89% due to having access to only 8.5 X 11" cardstock. A 5/16" dowel is suitable, but leaves an ugly gap if you use paper. Using cardstock may...

I've only got nine spine nuts left to go... then it's on to the fuel pods. I think I may have to take a break in the middle of that and move on to the command module and rear block. I certainly hope the centrifuge will become available again. I'm still kicking myself for missing that. :)

You're doing well so far Plastic Bonsai. Have you still been at it? I just discovered that Uhu had released this model yesterday, and I've already begun mine. :D I'm very disappointed that I missed the centrifuge model a few months ago. Maybe Uhu will release it again. Even if it doesn't...

Oh wow. If I'd realized Uhu had released this model, I'd have been at it already. I'm glad we have a dedicated build thread, because the spine alone would have scared me off without someone explaining it. :D Very nice build so far. I'm impressed with how all the nuts ended up looking the...

Very nice, and congrats on POTW! I always liked the Lens Heads, and seeing new ones is a treat. I need to get on mine and get it done. I've got the first one finished, and I've been working on the RB version off and on. Is the Type B (the other version) not available anymore, or has it not...

Now I want one, too... but I doubt I could compare with your skills. It looks like it should go in a museum! :)

Great job! I always wished I had giant Legos when I was young. Still do, actually... :) Pool noodles are large pool toys made out of a dense foam. They're generally cylindrical and about five feet long and four or five inches in diameter. They'll float a 300 lb man, I swear. We used to...

Where can the Gomix model be purchased, by the way? I forgot to ask.

Very nice model, and I like the modifications you added. I've never seen this model, and I prefer full hulls to waterline models, so I follow this with great interest.

I have all of these programs downloaded, and can't use a single one. :) I may actually be able to do that Huygens model I've been wanting now. Great work!

Hooray! An early Christmas present! The interior looks great, uhu02. I thought the prototype was amazing, but this vastly improves the details. I'll get right to work. :)

As far as Discovery models... The model that's out there is awesome, but I too wish for a more spherical command module. (Not complaining about the model, either... it's very well researched and the details are very good.) Something like the assembly procedure for this EVA pod would be a good...

Even though I agree with you, remind me NEVER to be critical of you guys. :rofl: Seriously, though, I always welcome tips like, "That part is upside down" or "That circle is supposed to be cut out." It's criticisms like, "It isn't accurate" and "I can see the seams and the edges aren't...

Wow. I tried that model and didn't do too well. I'm glad I finally get to see what mine SHOULD have looked like. (By the way, I have a real Chihuahua and she was a little freaked out by it, too. It's close to 1/1 scale. :) )

Now I'm really excited! I've got to get the prototype done so I can do the final version when it comes out! :)
