MRC Designer-Discussion

[Mike Hungerford]

Hey Mike, I'm extremely honoured to hear that this is Your only forum.
But it's no problem. Perhaps You know some other modellers via e-mail. But if not - no problem, too. It was just an idea to get the attention of more people.
But I'm happy in any case.

Pretty much all the modelers with whom I'm in touch are either on Papermodels or here. :-)

I just worked another hour on the roof.
It is definitely better than the old one.
And while I work on the parts, that MRC stands next to me and I get more ideas for the rest of the model.

A few minutes ago I thought about a high mast at the front of the tower with sensors, weather station, and different antenas. That would give the model a lot more height and a bit of the look of a big ship.

Nice! I'd had some thoughts in that direction while playing with the little container transporters; they must have SOME means of communicating with one another, eh? Possibly lasers for line-of-sight and small parabolic dishes (self-aligning, of course!) for long range satellite comm?

Hmmm ... a nice pylon with an all-inclusive pod at the top would be simplest, i.e.: easiest to make out of paper. :-)
