You can see some of the differences here. I strengthened parts and modified some of the details before it went on display at Oz Comic-Con Melbourne. So, I generally build the skeleton of the model first and add to it. When I build, I like to see the big picture as soon as possible. In the building stage, I started with the front of the ship, and worked my way to the back, adding the main details as I went, and the more extensive details at the end. This is when I started purchasing parts brick by brick. The building process took so long because at the beginning I didn’t have the parts I needed. This allowed me to articulate every detail. The other big difference between this and earlier models is I had a huge range of extra pieces available. If any proportions were incorrect, it affected the detail of the rest of the model. I measured two sections on an image of the actual ship and ensured the same two sections on the LEGO ® version shared this ratio. I did this mathematically through the key measurements, using a ratio. I had to develop a way of perfecting this accuracy through proportions. I researched every aspect and detail of the actual ship, and replicated each of them in LEGO ® bricks. In this model, a big change is the focus on detail.
At each stage, I changed the way I designed the ship and developed new building techniques.
The Daedalus was the first model I built from LEGO ® bricks, and over a number of years I have made various attempts to build it, finally reaching the model I have now.
