Landing gear is very cool
Keel at it I want to see where you go with this

Keep going - you've got the basic structure sorted, and you've nailed the really fiddily bits on the landing gear.

Looking great. Still another 18ish days to go so plenty of time.

Looking good so far.

Very nice landing gear. Having just built some for my dropship, I also found it is very easy to spend a lot of time on just one detail. Especially when you are trying to produce multiple items that need to look the same, but aren't viable to master and cast.

More sexy landing gears. I feel spoilt.

This looks amazing - fantastic details!

Even if you can't make the competition finish, you must finish this.

I echo the levels of appreciation and encouragement

Thanks for the encouraging words, it really helps me keeping motivated.

Made the fourth gear house yesterday and fiddled with the positioning so now the ship is more or less standing flat.
Hopefully I can finish them tonight. I cut the brass parts already so mostly gluing them in place is left.

Does it need to stand accurately flat? Could you not put it on some terrain?

Well I like to be as precise as I can

It bothers me if something is noticeably amiss.
I want to use the ship as a terrain piece on any kind of board, urban, wilderness or anything in between. Putting a rock under one gear would look out of place on some boards. But it's not a problem anymore. I will post pics tonight hopefully showing the finished gears.
