Now being back form my vacation - I survived the adventure of three weeks South-Western USA -  I can continue with the Reban "Ukumka".

Deck 2 (fuel) and Deck 3 (FTL drive) are now stacked together.




3D designing of Deck 0 - landing legs, water and air supply plus life support system - is also done


Deck 0 is also printed. This time, It is a "one-in-a-piect" deck for stability reasons. But this will make painting of it more difficult.


All the pipes, tanks etc are also printed

The first engine is now completed and painted. But when testing it in the engine torus, I had to fin out that the tanks on the right side are too high. So those have to be remade.




In the inner part of this deck, the fusion reactors will be placed. Starting to paint and construct this part.


Another deck could be stacked together, now there are Deck 1 (Hangar), Deck 2 (Fuel) and Deck 3 (FTL-Drive)

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

My brain circuit breaker just blew out...................  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Last week, I found out that some smaller fuel tanks mounted at the engines were too big. So I had to make some more "flat" ones.

Comparison "old" and "new" and the new ones added to the engines



Testing the first landing leg, it fits as planned.


The Reban spaceship must get a small tender craft. So this is a first rough design of it just to test its dimensions. as I have a test print of the ground hangar deck left, this one can be used to check if it would fit into the hangar. Looks ok so far.  A Reban and a 1-Cent coin as comparison.

Those new fuel tanks look good with that squat shape  :thumbsup:

All landing legs have been printed and tested, the model stand quite stable. I hope it still will when all the decks are added.





All four reactors and the energy banks have been installed in the engine deck


Adding the energy conductors


A little auxiliary control stand for the reactors. The main engine control will be on deck above the engine deck. On the lower deck, the snack machines
