"Dark matter"
"Black holes"
"Evolved over millions of years"
And especially "Alien life"
Are the great deus-ex-machina items used when the naturalistic evolution world view cannot explain something. I am surprised actually they did not speculate the stars were surrounded with alien Dyson spheres... Humans always try to explain away God's role in creation

We elves do not care about such minor problems.

... until they see me coming. I'm charging the batteries and will go flying with the helicopters this afternoon.
After a longer break, I have begun working on my next helicopter again. It's a model of a Bell UH-1B, but I will try to pass it off as this 'Echo' model.[^]
The mechanical part is an older T-Rex 450 (still with paddles). It has already be modified and mounted inside the body. Now I'm adding all kinds of details, like panels, antennae. air intakes or door hinges. Some real model building for a change and even more fun is coming up: Adding hundreds of rivets.
Have a look here[^], here[^] and here.[^]
I still am looking for a way to make the weapons and their mounts. I want a gunship, not a 'Slick'. This will probably be a good excuse to play with a 3D printer.

That's a load of work, just in the rivets!
Hope the weather is good for flying
I was going to say I was surprised that you hadn't 3d printed the whole body shell (complete with rivets), but then I realized just how much work digitising the shape would be in the first place.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

3D printing the whole thing would be quite expensive, even if you already have a complete 3D model. I have seen the weapons in scale 1:7 (too large for my purposes and also too modern for a gunship from 1967) for about 300€ per piece, plus the right and left mount for a similar price each.
A model this size always is terribly expensive and those parts were done really well with every detail, but printing the whole body would really cost you a little.
And why do I always have the urge to hum Wagner while I'm working on it?

That should be pretty easy to 3D model and print!

That's his choice, unless he doesn't do his job properly.
People should stop worrying about what is appropriate for what ages.
If this guy did what "people" somehow want him to do he'd retired at 65, do nothing, and die of boredom old age somewhere in his 80's...
If you can and want, you should, no matter your age.

If he is able to keep working and wants to, by all means let him! The fact that he is 102 means nothing (other than to the bureaucrats who seem to think that old age == inability to work).
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
