There was a lot of fiddling to get the angles right, gobs of newly discovered
(to me) SNOT techniques, and several major redesign/rebuilds (getting the
centrifuge perfectly balanced around it’s axis comes to mind). Once I got to
the antenna dish, I decided to go with the black 8x8 dish sandwiched between
two 6x6 dark gray ones. Not ideal, but I figured it didn’t look too bad. At
least it matched the colour scheme of the ship. I’d be interested to hear
what others think about this solution and I’m certainly open to other
suggestions.

Magnet SNOT on Discovery was really slick! And I think that the dish looked just
fine.

Of course once it was pretty much done Jude comes by and says, ‘you should
stick a motor in it’. Such simple words. Another redesign/rebuild of the
main forward section to accommodate the motor and gearing, but well worth it.
Thanks Jude!
Enjoy,

Jason,
this looked simply incredible at BrickFest and I am surprised that you haven’t
posted it sooner.
I was lucky enough to be Space Theme Coordinator at BrickFest and got a teaser
pic of this a bit before BF and was floored then...and seeing it for real and
working was one of the outstanding moments of BrickFest for me.
Great job and good to see it online!
