now it gets to the point in the construction where you think this is looking cool. Then I talk with the director and the scope of this project has changed. Originally I am told the actor gets into the ship and flies off stage. Ok So I decide to make it BIG as the scope is not too bad. Then I find out from the stage manager and the director 3 days before it is to be finished that the ship will be flying off one stage and through the back stage to the other side of the stage as well as run through the alcoves and it will have to go up on scaffolding. I am now freaking as there is no way that would be possible.

I decide to chop off 2 feet off the length of the nose. It sort of ruins the Jedi fighter look but at least it still looks half decent. I hope
