Holographic Tactical Display

since I deemed this the overall Command Titan with a surfeit of nonessential personnel what better than to have a 3D display table in the center of the bridge.

I was beside myself in what to put in the huge area behind the flight station when I got this idea. It was either this or throw a grange dance.

I plan to use fiber optics of various colours to represent warring factions with Luteus Vexant and company in the center of the Holo-dome.

Whether this works or not will be an interesting experiment but so far all the components seem viable and better still fit nicely into the space available.......... ..

Now I just have to figure out how to light it.............

Below is the primary reason this model probably never will be done.

Ever since I glued the "bra" on the asymmetry of the lower edge has bothered me. Probably no one would ever notice that the left lozenge shaped vent is a millimeter more visible than the one on the right side. I have to pare down the "bra" to conform to the left side starting with the surface armour.

 Freud was right; Blackadder is certifiable.

You are totally crazy, but then, you know that already  :D



No problem, I'll give you a 100% increase in pay effective immediately and retroactive to 1999.

This is what I like, multiple ideas on fixes:

In addition to the above considered reply.............. .

-------------------------------------------------------

''Symmetry is boring mate. I've worked on several war machines and I can tell you none of them were symmetrical.
If it's really bothering you, you could cover it up with something? A large spotlight maybe or some sort of radar/auspex equipment?"

Fix #1, Let it go, the Universe is F'd up anyway and basically asymmetrical or try the current regime's fix for everything ignore, obfuscate and dazzle 'm with footwork i.e. tap dancing...........

--------------------------------------------
"Hmmm, thats not good. The real sad part is that its such a big thing to rebuild (as i guess the problem cant be fixed by just regluing).
Hope you find the mental strength to go on with this Project anyhow."
Fix #2, Scrap the whole project and take up knitting, something you are more temperamentally qualified to attempt...........

---------------------------------------------
Or:
"Everyone knows the left one hangs a little bit lower than the right one!!!"

Fix #3, Back to asymmetry and a bit of innuendo and an appeal to my obligation to complete this project...........

And my fix, shave off the offending excess. simple and direct.

Of course fixing this revealed further inconsistencies and so the dementia continues.......... ..........
