OK, I can't resist. I have a campy fondness for Galaxy Quest, in part because of the location shown in that photo: Goblin Valley in central Utah. I have done geologic research in that area, and taught field courses there. We always stop at GV, at least for lunch and a look at the Goblins. Most of the time, that turns into a crazy tag session, even when my students are professionals in their 30s.

It's all fitting together and with the floor it's very strong.

Phase 1 is complete, only took 7 years! The body is shaped, complete and together. Phase 2 begins, the mechanical. Then phase 3, final assembly and finishing of body and interior. Never give up! Thanks for Wray Schelin at Pro Shaper for making dreams come true. I took his class on metal shaping years ago, learned some skills and he and me went crazy on my dream, an aluminum 550 Spyder. This is that dream realized.

Yeah, it was sitting fine until it was under load, we adjusted the Spring plates another 18 degrees, fixed that right up.
