*jaw drops* Crimminy Jickets, man! How many wing plates and plates in
general did you USE on that thing?! I don't even want to think of how heavy
must be!
This set of pictures makes your work even more impressive; I know how hard
black is to photograph and get the detail to come out. Any guesses on the
piece count on so far?

sight better than the 'runabout' that they get through commercial means...! :)
So.... when're you gonna start on the External Tank, Solid Rocket Booters
and the scale gantry and crawler pad? ^_^

| (...) Yes, it is heavy, but probably not as heavy as you may think. Maybe ten pounds? The wings are generally 4 plates thick at the leading edge and become thicker inboard as the approach the fuselage and landing gear wells. I used 90 wing elements (...)
