So every once in a while I would start to conceptualize how the Leonov might
come together. I always got stuck on the lack of an 8x8 dark gray radar dish
for the main antenna dish though, which I ‘needed’ to get the scale right.
One year later, the Discovery complete, facing the reality that a dark gray
8x8 dish would never be made, I finally said, ‘screw it, I’ll just start
building the damn thing and see what happens’.

It looks magnificent. The two-toned radar dish is actually an improvement on
the original, I think.

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!

That .wmv is eerie. How beautiful! Does it make noise when it turns?
And do you have any images of the two ships side by side?
What a cool thing! Kudos to you, Jason!
