Sometimes I see an oddity and think I'd like to build that.

But then I come to my senses and think even if I spent 8 hours a day for 30 years, I would have shuffled of this mortal coil before it was completed!

Is there someone somewhere sat at a design desk thinking how can I make this next ship more complicated?

Amazing to look at - horrendous to attempt to model - I'm out...

Actually it is the reverse.
Someone somewhere sat and thought, "How can I make pipe laying easier?"

looks like a UK government think tank project, starts with something simple then the bean counters want to change the spec to get the most out of it.

The materials cost in Plastruct parts alone could be horrendeous

Thanks for the videos Umi. Stunning piece of engineering!
