These photos show so much more than the 3D photos. Nice work. -- Russ

I so look forward to seeing this build. Really like the pallets, the spool, and the grating.

Great to see you have cleared the hurdles on this one... and I love that we are going to see two examples out of the gate - nice touch, man! Now stop reading the forums and get back to the bench  |

Thanks guys! Everything's coming along at my typical quick modeling pace. Ian wants a plain black base, but I'm making something more rust-ic. I found this on the Industrial Decay Network Flickr group and immediately wanted to recreate portions of it. So I'm doing a section of steel bridge, a tower of sorts, and some water underneath. http://www.flickr.com/photos/christiangates/6481821403/in/pool-69148305@N00/ |

I am really looking forward to seeing how you do these kits as I will want to steal ideas from you . However , I can't work out how three sand channels can be of use to a flying ship ! Or am I being thick ? ( (Anyone else with a smart-arsed comment to my last question please feel free to write it down on a postcard and mail it in).

I just like them for the extra detail, but in the metal I depict them as they could be gang-planks, temp barriers, traction on deck, in port, etc... Whatever one can cobble together is the theme in Ian's series anyway. As for me... I just needed more detailish crap to greeblie up the deck.  |

Obviously you are too young or were too isolated in the English hinterland, to recall the Yes album cover with the floating-in-air islands/pieces of land. The sand rails are needed in case the Remora gets beached on one of those....or they can use it as a gang-plank to one of those, when they go look for the thong clad rebel vixens. |

How funny... I had that bookmarked apparently and must have forgotten about it. I went to bookmark it... again I guess and saw I already had it. Thanks for the reminder... great stuff in there! |

Yes were the first group that I took any interest in back in 1973/4 ( before you were born?) , so I am very familiar with their album covers by Roger Dean . And you are right they could be of use in such situations and would be a great idea for a diorama . I think I'll dig out my old albums and see how it could be done . |

... wasn't YES the band with Rick Wakeman on Keyboards, who left the band 5 (or 6?) times for re-entering again every time a few months/years later ... ? Was more listening i. e. to Grand Funk Railroad then ...  |
