You as usual are making rapid progress on this very large model! The glass table top is a nice and very level surface for assembly. Might I ask what wood you are using for the planking. Your structure looks very light yet strong.

Best regards! Tom

Hi,Tom!
Yes,the glass table top is very good level surface and drawing water line too. I use 10*2,20*2,30*2 mmt Ginko strips.
It's standing model not RC so light is better.
Best regards! Song
