(Coming soon) this is my most detailed model of the city starship i have made to date i got a set of schematics online and have been on my spare time building this monster

About this creation

this model of the city starship is build using a schematic and a bit of ingenuity. i started by creating a hexagon that had 3 longer sides and 3 smaller sides after that i started on the central city area and used different plates to fill in the oddly shaped hexagon. after that i built the larger piers and then the smaller piers and strengthened them with the subsurface section after i was done with that i started to add buildings as i saw fit (and according to the top-down schematic's placement of them). (note this was built Purist style and there is no modification whatsoever to the pieces i used) the model can be picked up by one of the piers and sustain its weight but it is much easier to handle if one picks it up by the base and lifts it. the model does float like the city did in the series (tho it took me a bit of figuring on how to get that done right my original subsurface structure was insufficient to create the iceberg effect so i changed it a bit)

Quoting Nate . If you need any help i will offer my assistance i now building a large city-ship can be a pain, how big are you making it because if you are building a large scale like mine be careful of the supports on the larger of the peirs. you nedd sollid supports no emtpy places with plates perferibly one long one covering the entirity of the supports to back them up.

thank you for the offer however my ship is nearly finished and i will post it soon i however am having difficulty making the city color scheme
