Hi all, After seeing Leonard Hoffman's awesome (URL) Kalashnikov Project>, I was inspired to build a ship much bigger than I ever had tried before. After wrestling with several ideas, including a toxic waste disposal transport, I settled on a (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hey, I think you've got an interesting shape started and looks like you're using some different hull techniques. Very nice. Just be careful not to get the "rainbows" inside and out when building it. Remember, one key to good ship building is (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Nate, I'm definitely impressed with it so far... the angled walls and techniques you used for that have definitely given me ideas on how to handle some sections of my ongoing project. (Picture updates soon, I promise!) I like the exterior color (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Why Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping the Kalashnikov Project would inspire. I echo Adm Giddens' comments about the color scheme. It is really important to have a good color scheme that doesn't detract from a moc. Many great MOCs (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Ya know, this got me thinking. When you (the general everyone you) builds a large ship, do you tend to make the interior first and then build the outside to cover it, or do you build the exterior shell and then shoehorn an interior into it? Or (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I tend to do a combination of both... on the Genesis, I built the top of the cockpit, then the bottom with the interior details. Now I'm working on the interior of the main ship, and plan on attaching the exterior midway through... kind of a front (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I never thought about the inside colors until now (heck, I've still got (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) What I usually do is divide the ship horizontally into sections that can attach to each other. Then I build the exterior of each level of each section, and then I do the interior.
