jae_buildsThis was a less focused stage than most; I did a bunch of smaller things, as opposed to one big thing. Which meant a wide variety of techniques and methods, so I'm certainly not complaining.
Here's the mise-en-place. The stages in this final box are definitely generally larger than they have been in previous boxes.
I started with some crossbeams and other internal framing.
Then I added these two red supports, which are attached via technic pins so they can rotate.
I added some more framing plates...
And then made use of those red supports.
In case you can't tell from the photo, the red pieces (that are supporting that mast base) are rotatable, so the mast can be tilted slightly. In the final build it will be held in place with deck plates, I think, but for now it just rotates freely such that the mast can go from pointing straight up to being tilted at about 25 degrees.
Next I started on the first of two sub-assemblies, each of which I wasn't sure precisely what it was until putting it on the main build.
I still wasn't exactly sure what that was, but it's clearly intended at least in part to serve as a foundation on which to build a deck. I didn't know what the clips on the end would be for, but for now I set the build aside and started work on the second sub-assembly.
Before clipping the hull section into place, it was time for a trivia break.
Then I did clip the new sub-assembly into place.
I added framing around the base of the mast.
Next I extended the hull walls on the sides, with more hinged pieces and some cleverly-designed sideways plates.
I placed mirror images of those assemblies on the other side.
... and the smaller sub-assembly as well.
I extended the wrap-around hull walls.
And finished by adding deck plating to the central third of this section.
That's it for stage 40. Thanks as always for reading!
Discussion prompt: In which settings and contexts do you prefer staying focused on one task? When do you prefer switching between smaller shorter tasks?
