Focus, shmocus....it all ends up the same!

As I said before, the real joy of the construction photos are the insight
into the building process.  For instance, the first freighter seems to be
under development from a base-up approach, building the the floor first and
continuing up.  Some start from the nose and work back, others on the
cockpit, others on the engines.  All very interesting (to me anyway).

The fighter looks so promising...a shame to abandon it.  Great shape to it.

Thanks for the peek!

Cheers,

This is a small freighter that I am currently working on. I has room for 3
cargo containers (4 x 8) plus living quarters. I have a few hours in it,
mostly just staring at the living quarters thinking "it's just not right".
And then staring some more.

This is an in-progress moonbase module. I felt a roadblock coming on, so I
turned my attention to the freighter above. I should go back to it since I
think I have everything figured out now. Sometime soon....

This is an all but abandoned freighter design. I began this before I started
the moonbase module, got stuck and shoved it aside. I haven't touched it
since. I will probably recycle the parts pretty soon. It's already on the
pile for recycling. I see a McDonald's helecopter, several Harry Potter
sets, 3 or 4 Alpha Team sets and 1 or 2 Shell sets in the mix there. And it
is all sitting on top of the rubble left by my terraformer.

This started out as a supply and maintenance vehicle for my terraformer.
I've been slowly picking pieces off of it, so I don't think it will ever get
to the "finished" state. The interesting thing about this model are two
motorized winches. One on the front of the vehicle, the other waiting for
the crane to be mounted.

As you can see, my building style isn't very focused. I tend to complete
only about 20% of what I work on. I guess the rest are just design studies :-)
