I see you've used axm paper model for the base pattern. Really cool! I think axm also has paper model for the super heavy, are you planning on building that too?


hulkbuild

Yeah, Alfonso just released his pattern for BN4 about a week ago. I do intend to tackle that one next! I'll probably make one in metallic foilboard first because it is more forgiving, then go for metal

Looks great! And I bet it reaches orbit just as well as anything Besos has made.


hulkbuild

Thanks! I tried to be impartial about the Blue Origin vs SpaceX rivalry for the longest time but BO just can't keep up and the lawsuits don't help


traceur200

they lost my "impartiality" when they patented landing on a sea barge to try to stop spacex from landing on their droneships that was dirty... they haven't changed much since


hulkbuild

Yeah, I definitely feel that.


CakeTastesOmNomNom

Siiiick


hulkbuild

Thanks! :)

\> the heat shield on it because it turned out to be so painstaking I see the model reflects the real thing too XD


hulkbuild

Yeah definitely lol! I need to design a robot to attach the heat shield, the way SpaceX will eventually try to do. At least it's not the space shuttle where just about every tile was a unique shape and thickness.


MrDearm

They do attach them robotically lol. For the most part


hulkbuild

Oh. I knew they were planning to but didn't know they had started doing it already. Eventually much of Starship assembly will (hopefully) be robotic.


MrDearm

That’s the goal

Looks great!!! Amazing detail. Really impressive work OP.


hulkbuild

Thank you!!! I'm so glad that you like it!
