Building models of various types has always been a much loved hobby of mine. I enjoy larger models, where I can recreate realistic parts and make the model look like a genuine vehicle has just been shrunken proportionately and would function if asked. I can't imagine being paid to do this. What a wonderful job.
Great work! I'm glad a piece of film history is being restored. I have been thinking of building another, MK2 flying version. The first one I built was really rough, I had to use a lot of licence to save weight. I did fly, but only with tethered power. With modern LiPo batteries and brushless motors, I think I can make it work way better! Thanks for posting!
It's a real shame someone would have left that amazing model out in the weather all these years. It should have been stored or put in the museum. Glad to know it has been restored now.
Awsome work. I can't believe they left it out in the rain. I was hoping prometheus was going to use some genius design work like this but wasn't up to par in my opinion and they had millions to spend. This ship is so original and a work of art.
Hah! I left a comment on the other video with the name of the tank part used near the top there.. had no idea there was a second video until I watched this where they ID'd the part.
Why did you not just contact Martin Bower, he could have used original kit parts rather than fabricating them in resin. He built the original after all. It would make the repairs more original if you used the original builder/artist for the job

Great Job ! What a monstrosity, I can't imagine trying to do something that large and complex.
