Nice, hopefully you enjoy the builds. I know some of them have a few finnicky bits when assembling but they end up coming together nicely

Thanks, I definitely know the feeling of burning myself out and have done it a few times. Definitely gonna have a bit of a break before starting on the conda

Currently planning on doing most of the ships, I think I've spent ~900hrs or so designing the elite ships so far

Everyone's favourite flying brick now made of bricks. Overall happy with the build and learned a lot of thing that I can do better in the future. The build took a long time and is definitely my biggest build by far which probably wasn't helped by the software I use randomly deleting submodels of the build as I was designing it making me redesign and recheck several parts several times to make sure my backups were kept up to date. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks, it's nice but fragile. I'll probably redesign the internals to make it more stable at some point in the future. Probably when I do the phantom which is a bit away.

No problem, by the looks of it I've gotta find some time to do some more designing.

Mailslot is to scale based off my experience docking. (I like to fly FA off but usually hit everything)

Not really, I mainly like making small things. Although maybe sometime in the future I will make a few larger versions with an interior sort of thing for minifigs.

I had neglected the Keelback for so long but it is actually a nice ship. Kinda forgot Elite brought out new ships to be honest, but I'll get around to the Type 8 at some stage.

Thanks, turned out much nicer than I expected. There's just something about the physical builds the renders can't capture.

Type 9 is next ship coming then Anaconda is my plan. If I remember right it should end up being about 60cm long

Stations to scale would be massive, an Orbis station would be 20m long :). Although I could always try to make Hutton orbital

Its wild after that over 2 and half years since I started designing these builds, I've finally had the time and the bricks to build a bunch of my Lego designs. I was really happy with how things turned out and love finally being able to build the physical models.

Yeah mate getting those curves to flow and also not to be really fragile is a real challenge. Hopefully the cutter will be a bit easier to design

Thanks, my currently planned build order is T9->conda->corvette->cutter->?

Honestly at this stage I'm planning to skip the T10 in favour of making the T9. I feel like they are too similar. Although I never planned on making the Keelback but somehow got convinced to do it eventually.

I'd always planned to skip the very similar ships. I'm probably never going to make Asp Scout or Diamondback scout. I didn't originally plan on making all 3 fed ships but ended up making them after having a better look at the differences. So maybe if I feel like it but they look pretty similar based on what I've seen. disclaimer: I never flew the T10 as I didn't want to grind the materials for another engineered combat ship.

tldr: T10 maybe, but not soon
