1/144th Prometheus scratch build

Wowsa! I just read this entire thread. This is terrific stuff. I am awed and not a little envious of your talents.
 
Gag.. you are really a wonder to behold my friend. How you're able to take nothing and turn it into something like this is beyond words. I've tried my hand at scratch building before but you go over the top! Looking awesome... can't wait to see more!
 
Guys, guys, throttle it back a little.
He'll get us updates when he has them. We need to be patient.
 
Hey Q... was only joking around... I know stuff like this takes time. NG does some awesome work! Always a thrill to watch a true master at his craft! :)

Top engine assembly layout, originally i was going to trepan this bit from a single 180 degree hemisphere but that was $75 and i would have to use someone elses shop, so i decided i had more control if i sculpted it by hand.
So i made a scale drawing
