Incl. the laser parts:

Inkl. die laserteile:

and a lots of parts to cut.....

Und viele teile zu schneiden....

Fred

Let go!!

Cut the first piece of paper

And more...

Al these pieces become the backbone of the ship:

The ribs are laser cut so that's easy

Dry-fit on the backbone

Dry-fit, dry-fit, dry-fit.......

Started to glue the ribs on the backbone, LEGO helps to do this very straight.

And the first mistake in the laser parts....there is no tab...

So cut the tab myself....

Fred

And now it fits!

Al the ribs are glued on the backbone:

The decks glued on the ribs:

second mistake in the laser parts.... twice the same tabs...

so cut of the tabs

Glue, glue, glue...

That's a nice start

Fred

Next the first layer of the skin:

But first sand the ribs in a good shape:

One of the decks is to wide, so sand this to:

And than glue the waterline:

And upper line:

Nice working in the sun

The first layer is glued on:

Next the skin itself, but first cut....
