Lots and lots more...

I've started work on the mid-deck detailing of the engine room section. And other stuff.

Rivet count is at 12,119...

I'm tired.

Hope you like!

The images continue to astound and move. Actually, I'm almost feeling motion sickness. That real.

As said on Firesign Theatre, 'it's been such a long exposition', but have you started anything on the fore section?

Will the forecastle/cottage/bridge be on a derrick/turret arrangement, so the Great Beast can turn its head?

It goes without saying that this is one of the greatest step-by-step build threads in the history of LAF. Thanks for sharing your madness, sir!

I really haven't thought as far as the head in detail, my friend! But I promise it will be impressive.

And, thank you. I hope we don't all get bored before I finish this monstrosity!
