2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...
This is a general update and not project specific. To start, I've been pretty sick the last couple of weeks. That nuked almost every end-of-the-year plan and goal I had for 2023, including the Yamato project. Even as I write this, I'm only just 'recovering.' There's...
Okay so the Cosmo Messers aren't 100% compatible with the Yamato, so I wanted to modify one to be close to spec. I somehow wound up making a full-blown Cosmo Falcon. There I go, makin' replicas again I also did some side by side comparisons on an old request and Good...
Oh my goodness ... well, things may have slowed down exponentially compared to the first 24 hours of working on this thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been major progress. Check this out. The exterior is nearly finished (minus coloring) The catapults work...
Uh ... yeah, I'm not sure why I started making this yesterday. I'll do 'inspired' builds, but I never attempt actual replicas. For some perspective, this is sixteen hours of work crammed into about a day and a half. It took me a year to get the Admiral Hipper slapped...
One of the most annoying things about fleshing out these World War II inspired factions is that there isn't enough territory in the setting to go around. I mean we've got America, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etcetera. There are only a handful of habitable worlds,...
I don’t quite get the drone scripts the XB-2 uses yet, but based on my own testing I’ve got serious doubts that I’ll be able to convert the E model of the Cosmo Messer into one. My best bet with this sort of thing is having a connector on the back in the same style as the XB-2. Even that won’t fix all the problems, though.
It’s the length, among other things. The Cosmo Messer has to land in a particular orientation to have them in good numbers on a ship, which is more code and more problems. Even with a connector on the back they would have to orient themselves to be right side up to be stored internally, something the XB-2s don’t have to do.
I’ll keep poking around to see if there’s a way to do it long term, but the E models have come too far for any major overhauls at this point.
At least they look majestic parked on the approximately 60% complete Admiral Hipper.
