A quick recent pic of the (forever under construction) Outpost 423.

Yikes! Is level 1 the only place currently serving adult frosty beverages?

LOL, yeah the bar is open on the top level, and I assume the ramen place on the lower level also has beer, but the middle two levels have bars that are closed for remodel.

Made it back home from a long weekend in New York, and have a few minutes to look at the landing pad shelf I started building after Yakface made it clear the Ghost was coming. When I started I was guessing because I didn't have Ghost measurements. Now I think it's going to work perfectly.
(The pink foam against the wall is a placeholder; I'll be using it to build scifi buildings as back walls for the whole structure .)
Actual Ghost measurements are Width 28", Length 34.5", and Height 13".
Height is easy because all of them have 23-25" of overhead space.
The very top shelf at 22" x 23" was never intended for possible Ghost parking.
Second shelf is 30.5" by 27. Looking at pic's of the landing gear I'm pretty confident the Ghost landing gear will fit on the pad, but the ship will have overhang. Even with one side off the Ghost the length will overhang.
Third shelf is 26" x 38"again, it'll fit, but with a little overhang.
And the bottom shelf is 38" x 38". This biggest shelf was always intended to be the home of the Ghost, and obviously it's going to work great.
Of course I'll end up shuffling the big ships around the pads occasionally, just for different pics...
If I can do it, you can do something similar. Back the Ghost! Build a shelf!

So glad that the measurements will work out! I like the lights on the top shelf, those look really excellent. Happy the Ghost has been funded, I'm hopefully for the tiers, but I think the 3,000 order gap is unfortunate - I wish it was about half that.

I think it'll be fine. There will be some slower days, but when the Ghost shows up on Ahsoka I think we'll see some bigger backer numbers...

Man, that shelf looks good. I can't wait to see your Ghost on it.

Haven't done an Outpost 423 update for awhile!

The very bottom shelf is just storage, mostly greebles and parts in these clear boxes.





But that's boring, I wanted to cover it, and maybe have a new place to take pictures of figures. So I made some walls that will just still in front of the clear boxes.

Some progress pics:

That's a very clever way to conceal the boxes. I also think it looks splendid. I really like the 6th element poster :) Great idea, great execution.

What a great way to cover up those storage areas. Looks great.

Off to share on the front pages.
