Hello! I'm done with this huge ship. More than 1500 parts. I built it all from boxes, and there were a lot of copper parts. I added so much that I drilled out the cabin windows and "glazed" them with foil from the inside. Unfortunately, it's not really visible in the photos. I also made the base myself from a board. I apologize for the quality of the photos, I don't have the equipment for it. Photos taken with a phone. The ship will be exhibited at the XXII. Bolyai Model Competition in Budapest on October 10, 2026. (Update: The ship received a silver award in the competition.) It was a great challenge. Good luck to everyone!

Hello everyone! The stars finally arrived and I started making the little guns.

Hi everyone! Last week—whether fortunately or unfortunately—I found some time at work to work on the ship. I think I made quite a bit of progress. It’s been mounted on the base, the rigging is done, and almost everything is finally in place on one side.

Hi everyone! This is as far as I got last week. It’s becoming increasingly doubtful that it will be ready by the deadline. There are still so many railings, stairs, mounting onto the base, guns, and rigging to do.

Hi everyone! Here is the ship's base. It’s not finished yet, but this is roughly what it will look like. I’m waiting for someone to make the stars as water-slide decals, since I couldn't get them all to look exactly the same. Then, a Plexiglas dome is made for it.

Hi everyone!
I made some progress on the project last week. It’s eating up the paint. I’ve also started working on the base; I’ll post some photos of that later this evening.

Key highlights of the first four weeks.
