They really do... I am a (bad) 3D modeller/printer, hopefully improving DM, Father, Stepfather, Husband, Son, Brother - I follow people who say interesting things or make models that make me jealous, and block the uninteresting, unpleasant or irritating.

I have very very few followers. I have no issue with that. But if you follow me with an account with no pic, no description and no posts, I will be highly suspicious, and if I'm not in a good mood, will block you faster than an extremely fast thing.

Very reminiscent of 'Howe to Kille Insectes', an 800 page book in the Library of Unseen University 😁

Well, I wasn't going to mention it, but the thought did occur 🤣

I'd be nothing without good source data, sir! 👊👊

I've never done this on social media before but...

...my brilliant assistant is moving on to pastures new after three years. I am looking for someone to help me out. They need to be able to *get to North London easily, regularly*, energetic (it's often a dashing-around/carrying stuff job)...

First time anyone has, hence the lack of detail lol

Now I know the overall construction works, I can detail it up :)

I very much enjoyed Godzilla Minus One, so I'm looking forward to this 🙂

His descriptions of Yyrkoon and Grome of the Ground in 'Elric of Melniboné' immediately spring to mind...

I agree, and then scare the daylights out of them but showing them the Talos sequence from Jason & the Argonauts 😁

Well, I promise not to destroy any solar systems... with THIS model... 😁

I'm am frightened by the implied existence of military-grade bears, myself...

All done in Wings 3D for those interested. WAY less scary and crunchy than Blender 🙂

I thought I'd screwed up massively. The back half of the spin habitat ring still needs printing. I just glued the front section to the rest of the 'fuselage' and then thought 'Oh crap! How do I get the back of the hab ring when the Alcubierre struts are in the way? Thankfully hadn't glued the struts

It's a nice, challenging project (for me - there are WAY better builders out there) - and remember what you see is just a draft to make sure it joins up properly. Final version will likely be in matt filament so it'll look cleaner. Gloss filament shows every flaw...

I'm just glad everything fits together properly! That's 15 or so parts in close formation, all printed separately (and getting a printed tab into a printed socket is a complete sod if you don't know how lol)

Have you had the 'The bus will remain at this stop for 5 minutes to even out the service' when you have a train to catch? Or the changing of the driver at the least convenient moment? (Yes, they need regular breaks, I know but jeez...)
