@zaximillian Yea I’m considering converting most of it to curved slopes for a smoother hull. I’m transferring the design to an online program called MecaBricks to see what I can do with it before I go gung-ho on rebuilding it. I’m also considering making the decks thinner and in one piece with the superstructure walls instead of separate pieces.

@zaximillian I couldn’t agree more! It’s got a long way to go but it’ll be there sooner or later!

@randomdan, thanks! Yea I just got some more work done on it. Here’s a picture of where I’m at so far. Only thing I don’t like is that the wing is a stud and a half too wide where it attaches to the fuselage. I do really like the shape of it though, and it is the best option I have found – flat angled plates can’t really do much in all honesty. So I guess I’ll just compromise on it for now. More pictures to come!

I think my post accidentally submitted twice. If my first one could be deleted I’d appreciate it, sorry for the inconvenience – gotta love technology!

[Austin Brodzinski]

Thanks! Nope I pretty much just looked for an ex-WWII US Navy ship and this happened to be there – plus it had some nice guns! 😉

Gotcha – I’ll post on here somewhere calling all train fans of Steel City LUG to discuss a possibility for a layout – I might not be an adult yet, but I’ll try my best to help!

[Austin Brodzinski]

Yea that would work – I’m sure some members have the buildings, I can build some of the trains (I’m a train nut LOL), and hopefully we could have enough space someday to have grand curves! Do you know which members I can contact for train layout plans?

[Austin Brodzinski]

By that I’m meaning something like a layout for Steel City LUG that could be taken to spaces to display – kind of like PennLUG’s situation. A permanent layout might happen eventually though! Wish I could do more to help with providing a space but sadly I can’t

[Austin Brodzinski]

Yea Sig’s a great guy!

Nice!

Thanks! Man I’m glad I took it off the shelf and dusted it off to get pictures for Steel City LUG – when I am officially an adult (I’m 15 1/2 now 😛 ) I’ll display this and other creations at the main events!

P.S. – Also, I’d like to maybe put up a vote for a more permanent Steel City LUG train layout – do I have the power right now to put a vote up for that? If I do how should I do it?

[Austin Brodzinski]

Thanks! I’m working on it right now – hull is done, just working on getting the superstructure’s first layer done. Spoiler Alert: It’ll have lights!

Sir Dan Walker of the Block, check out my work in progress post on the USCGC Tamaroa. You asked what’s next – well here’s your answer! 🙂

USCGC Tamaroa (Work In Progress – Sneak Preview)

[Austin Brodzinski]

Thanks, I love the show too! Will always be rooting for Sig Hansen and the Northwestern (although this might be his last season – he’s gonna be a grandpa!). I’ll be posting in the work in progress section (if there is one) later today with my latest build – the USCGC Tamaroa.

I feel ya – lots of stuff loads slow for me sometimes lol

[Austin Brodzinski]

Cool! You should try to finish it for sure!

[Austin Brodzinski]

Thanks!

(Thank you for that – it looked like it didn’t submit at first but then I submitted it again and I was like oh hey it submitted LOL)

[Austin Brodzinski]

Haha maybe so 🙂

[Austin Brodzinski]

Nah you’re fine lol I seriously wish I could build a lego cat that realistic though 😛

[Austin Brodzinski]

Thanks! Haha yea I was just playing along to see how long it would go lol

[Austin Brodzinski]

Thank you! Nope that’s my real cat Archie – not quite that skilled yet! lol 😛

[Austin Brodzinski]

Greg,

Do you mean my profile picture? If that’s the case, no, I drew that, but it’s an idea for a moc in the future! 🙂
