Container Spaceship part 7

 I have finally completed the other four of the five box like containers for the Container Spaceship project.

I found that the screws in the containers did not stick to the magnets in the hanging deck sufficiently well so I got some more of the 8mm diameter rare earth magnets and mounted them flush with the top of the containers instead. The magnet to magnet bond is plenty strong enough to support the weight of the containers securely. 8mm holes were drilled into the tops of the index card holder the magnets inserted flush and then a mound of baking soda and thin superglue was applied to the inside. Once the magnets were secure the box could be assembled and glued up with each taking a full day to complete.

The model measures 1515mm long which is just under 60 inches or 5 foot.

 I am now working on the sixth and final pod which is a tank pod for a bit of variety.

Still to do as far as construction goes, is the cabin interior, central housing that hides the model support and the power connectors and detailing the hanging deck.

Thanks for looking.

More soon...
