Sweet! It’s moving along pretty quickly there though, have you thought about gearing it down?
Hey Ben! Yes, I have been messing around with it but I just wanted to get it done and I actually posted it to a contest that was ongoing. It is jerky and fast. I need to slow it down. Still considering alternative gearing (Chain, direct, etc). If you have ideas I am open.
I also want to mess around with the ships over time to make them more stable. Some are quite heavy (like the Star Destroyer one). Without Kragle, it is tough to keep together with repeated use and the uprights need better footholds on most of the ships. I modified most of them but some were just really tough to get the holders in the right spots. Oh well, work in progress keeps me occupied!
Next project is the new UCS Falcon! It has been sitting in my basement for a couple weeks now and I REALLY want it built and displayed. I just need to build a way to display it first! Coffee table or?????? Anyone have any ideas? I saw the lexan box on Brickset, but it would still need a stand of some sort. I thought of a custom sized fish tank, but again it still needs a stand. I was looking for 24″ wide glass shelving but there does not seem to be a way to support that out there. Sigh….
