How do you start building these? Do you try to formulate a plan, or just start? (Sorry, you've probably been asked this loads of times :look:)
I hope the new owner appreciates the work that has gone into this beauty.

It's very simple @ColletArrow and for this project i got a budget for build her at the scale around the 1/50 to 1/60 and the size for the trans black windows was definite the scale at the blueprints from the yard.

Because this ship is still under construction and don't got a extra reverence from real pictures and have to work with the renders they give me.

The client gives me so tide deadline and from start to a finished model in 8 weeks and now after 6 weeks i am almost ready and i am glad that i never missed a deadline, but it's was a hell of a job.:cry_happy:

For the building the model in Lego there was no time to build first a digital model and than in real brick and started directly in real bricks. 

I have build here over the blueprints in live size printed scale and can see that i am with a marching between a couple of millimeters of the drawings.

The client have seen every step on the build and is so thrill, that he can't wait for the delivery on her.:wink:

And good to know that Jaap is able to make glossy "silver" now.

Hi Brunojj,

I am glad you like her and for myself is the outcome of the model a pleasure to see.

The last 9 weeks if have ordered more the 125K of parts, so 15K for this model was not much of a  problem.:wink:  

The stickers that Jaap have made for me, where thick chromed stickers:wub: and not glossy silver.

It was a hell of a job to applied them because of the size and i was amazed that his cutting machines can cut stickers to a hairline thick.

Those stickers look really great, I'm very impressed with the amount of "resolution" they have. Congratulations on finishing the build, it looks beautiful. :thumbup::thumbup:

Another masterpiece, I hope you bring it to bma so I can study it!?

Thanks Rick, but i can't bring her to BMA.

I build her in commission and in 2 weeks she is going to her owner.

maybe a stupid question, but what and where is BMA, it's obviously a convention of some sort.
