Whew! Finally done with the 3D cad model...at least for now anyways. This thing is all sliced up as to fit all the sections neatly in my 3D printer, and now it's time for the fun part to begin. A liter or so of UV light sensitive green goo will turn this model from a 3D rendering into a physical model.
I've already printed a few test pieces, which turned out surprisingly well. So now I'll print these sections, clean off the residual goo, and start assembly!

Thanks Neil. I never owned an airliner larger than 1/100, so I cant wait to see this thing as 1/60. But first, I'll make in 1/100 and fix any problems before stepping it up so as not to waste any of the UV resin which is quite expensive. Many more updates will be coming fast!

Ha! No thanks, the shading groups and animation would be a nightmare.
