The frame is looking good so far.  Starts are always bare bones. 
I have an idea how to do the foldable ramp, found some parts that should help with the engine pods, but besides that not much else. Ah well, doing my best.
At that scale, you might be able to find some piano hinges or doll house hinges that can be cut to size.  They would be easy enough to conceal within the build.

If I had the money or time, I would. But I have plenty of paper, brass wire and aluminium tubing that will have to get the job done. I'll find a way. Fortunately only one ramp has to be foldable, the back one is fixed. Somewhere next week I'll have time to start on the plastic work. I hope.

Lessen learned, don't do 2 Group Builds at the same time. As I was organising one myelf, my focus lay there and not here.

Admitting defeat, i will not be finishing this for this group build, but will do later at my own leasure as I will be needing more naval assets for my fictive country anyway.

Goodluck to the rest of you :)

Shame, but understandable that you are withdrawing.
I look forward to seeing it finished at some future date.
