A long time ago...

This thing has 3,104 parts...

Part number

First frame pieces

I thought I had gotten far but I have to build this part twice!!!

OK...Both parts together...

Overhead view...

The next step...

On go the engines.

The stand was unstable until the engines were installed.

Probably the most fun yet...

Bottom hull pieces assembled.

You can see the structure from above.

Tower base and outside structure fully installed.

Guns ready to fire!!!

It took awhile and a lot of hair pulling but it is finished.

It was worth it, but I would not do it again.

Now on to the next project.
