This took all night.

Credit for the original 3D design goes to EC Henry.

FINALLY!!!!!

I have been waiting for someone with more talent than me to build this niche vehicle, and you have done it. She looks absolutely stunning, and those curves are very hard to match. The cockpit looks a little off, but that shape and those panes are very difficult to reproduce. Nicely done, and I hope to see more of EC Henry's work done in Lego.

Not sure what to do about the cockpit. A bigger problem than the panes is that the front slopes aren't actually produced in trans... so they'd either have to be custom-printed for the project, or I'd have to go back to square one. I feel like, eventually, Lego will produce that part in a transparent color - it's too obvious a canopy for SOMETHING to not happen. But it's unsatisfying to me that the most essential part of the whole build doesn't actually work. The issue is, I a) need the whole thing to be round, and b) want it to be mostly clear, since that's the hallmark of the Mk. 2 - that the canopy makes the pilots feel like they are floating in space.

It's something I'm going to have to revisit.
