Sorry.

What is the best way to bring up old topics then? :)

None, except if you have something very constructive to add to the discussion.

I'm still working on it! I've just been busy with real life, etc.

I wasn't happy with the shape of the body when using single rows of 2x2x3 slopes so I changed it to double rows of 2x2x2 slopes. This gives a better shape and more accurate look, like more riveted panels. I also threw out the old design of the teeth and replaced it with something a little smoother. I'm trying to make the design something that will be strong in real life, so I have done a lot of reworking the inside skeleton. A lot of the redesign work has put the actual build on hold.

This is the new interior cross section for the biggest part of the ship, which will contain the Salon. It's been hard to come up with something that looks art nouveau and victorian on the inside, while being structurally sound.

I have most of the pieces needed for the skeleton, so the first step will be printing out a Nautilus blueprint scaled 1 foot to 1 stud. This way I can lay out the central skeleton right on the paper plan to make sure it's as good as can be, then start the build from there.
