Wow a 4 meter long beast?!?

Yes, supposed to be. I am not sure would I really manage to build it whole. I waned always to have it as a reference to my 1:350 WW1 and WW2 battle ships and aircraft carries as soon as my Space Battleship YAMATO in 1:350. But to build this beast in 1:350 it would be not only the matter of time and affords but also a matter of space to put it. Moreover for all my models I build myself plexiglas display cases, nad the one for 4m model would be the big challenge. 🙂))

@Spanjaard, yes the whole model should be 411 cm. Now first I am building only port Landing Bay, but it is by itself 182 cm.😉

What a beast and I really like it😎

Wut? *next head explodes* what's the approx. Weight of a 4m paper model? And wont it crush under its own weight? Kinda like a beached whale

@Daniel, at the end I have decided to go not for a paper model, but rather combination of light PVC frames core structure with plastic surfaces. It should results in a stable but not so heavy model as to making it from wood core. I will see how it is gonna be first building one Landing Bay. I will design by that mean proper building materials and technologies to be able to build stable but not very heavy main hull.

an ambitious project, i'll take a seat 👍

what are you going to with it when finished??

@Spanjaard That will be pretty long project😉😢)
I do not know when and how it will be finished, but what I do know already, that I will learn many new stuff and techniques meanwhile. What I already learning is 3D printing.😉😢

Spanjaard
way to go! 🙂

@Spanjaard, sure, the only one Landing Bay will take me I think more then a year to build.

holy... wow...now, thats a huge project. Wow.
