Drawings I am basing Landing Bay modelling now on.
Great 3D model of Battlestar Pacifica by tan.j as a new starting point for model building
The drawing of the port Landing Bay. For size comparison is my another WIP Space Battleship Yamato 1:350.
First frames/ribs and tip of landing pod gut from PVC. Pod 10 mm, frames 5 mm.
How it would look like together.
Preliminary I am happy with the results.
Dremel Moto Saw is a great tool to cut PVC plates!
Already something familiar coming out. 😉

Two models of port Landing Bay front tip core structures.
Right one - initial model.
Left one - refined model after obtaining 3D model of Galactica from Lee Stringer.

First 13 shell sections modelled in Hexagon with deck and deck support structures and prepared for 3D printing.
Detailed view on first shell section between ribs 1 and 2 with the shape for deck and deck support structures and screws holes.
Part of Landing Bay front deck (10 mm PVC plate).
First 14 ribs of Landing Bay front (5 or 8 mm PVC plates).

andvkubarYes, supposed to be. I am not sure would I really manage to build it whole. I waned always to have it as a reference to my 1:350 WW1 and WW2 battle ships and aircraft carries as soon as my Space Battleship YAMATO in 1:350. But to build this beast in 1:350 it would be not only the matter of time and affords but also a matter of space to put it. Moreover for all my models I build myself plexiglas display cases, nad the one for 4m model would be the big challenge. 🙂))

andvkubar@Spanjaard, yes the whole model should be 411 cm. Now first I am building only port Landing Bay, but it is by itself 182 cm.😉

DanielWut? *next head explodes* what's the approx. Weight of a 4m paper model? And wont it crush under its own weight? Kinda like a beached whale

andvkubar@Daniel, at the end I have decided to go not for a paper model, but rather combination of light PVC frames core structure with plastic surfaces. It should results in a stable but not so heavy model as to making it from wood core. I will see how it is gonna be first building one Landing Bay. I will design by that mean proper building materials and technologies to be able to build stable but not very heavy main hull.

andvkubar@Spanjaard That will be pretty long project😉😢)
I do not know when and how it will be finished, but what I do know already, that I will learn many new stuff and techniques meanwhile. What I already learning is 3D printing.😉😢

andvkubar@Spanjaard, sure, the only one Landing Bay will take me I think more then a year to build.
