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!

I have a few, from when Jason displayed at the Hobby Show

scroll down and you’ll see these pics--
(click on each pic for bigger ones...)
Note how Jason made a Discovery module that fits in the claw of the Leonov.
Also made a movie that figures the Leonov/Discovery at the beginning--
