It's all a matter of how much customization you want done on your model....
the same as the other scratch builders. For me, its important to able to park it at your fantasy terminal,(the one shown in my sketch is under construction), Ive just laid down the blueprints and have styrene ready to go. As for the folding wings; they will be a custom option. Since the ship at the gate in the poser image has plenty of breathing space, the wings are down. Perhaps later on this week, I can portray a wings up.

That will be great, thanks! I wasn't really asking for foldable wings on the model, but while you mention it, how would this work? How would they be movable and poseable in their up or down positions without falling out of line? Will you be posting base and all option pricing for this model on your blog soon?

If the first production model is going to be without gear, how will it be assured that the record large 1/400 scale model will balance well on its display stand?
