I got so engrossed in watching movies that I started rewatching more science fiction films.

Some of these movies were in HDR, which I originally intended to watch comfortably on TV, but it got too late. So I had to watch them on my computer's SDR screen with the brightness turned up.

There's also a classic segment: picking out engineering design problems from frame by frame in the film, just for fun. Of course, I'm also looking for prototypes for my next Minecraft build.

Let's get back to MZK's work.

I'm currently working backwards on the design of the side room (stairwell), and I have to say that my civil engineering degree has been a great help to me.

Floors 1 through 4 are concrete structures, so we will not proceed with their construction for the time being.

I just finished watching Project Hail Mary, and I absolutely loved the plot and the spaceships.

Until I saw a scene (no spoilers), a building in the distant fog—I could recognize it even if it were ashes:

Baikonur, Site 112A, the MZK facility—suddenly came into view just as I was trying to relax with a movie, as if to tell me: Hey Certain Grass! You have a super big project you need to work on right away!

Uh…

Sometimes I fantasize that my Minecraft builds have received official recognition, and I'll get some kind of reward: like a ticket to the Shikishima train, a free tour of MZK facilities with travel expenses covered, or even a visit to a movie set.

But obviously, none of that happened. But obviously none of that happened, but I won't lose my enthusiasm just because those things didn't happen.

I'd really like to recreate Tatra's trucks, but Tatra's unique chassis structure means that their truck tires have a certain camber angle. I think this is a characteristic of Tatra, and it would be strange not to do it, but Minecraft really has a hard time handling such tire camber angles unless the scale is particularly large.

Currently, I am working on a project amidst the heavy workload at MZK, which can be considered as practice.
I'm still not good at interior.

I was making a build that was completely unrelated to MZK, and I found that my efficiency was beyond imagination.

I feel that as long as I have been investing in one thing for a long time, it will gradually become creaking, and then completely rusty. Am I the only one like this?

I've started building a 10-block gauge train, approximately 7.2:1 scale. I'll keep the train model a secret for now.

Two well-known train model scales are "N scale" and "HO scale," and I feel like my job is building HO scale models.

It suddenly dawned on me: of all the builds I've made so far, the Space Elevator has the smallest scale: only 1.25:1.

The largest scale build at the smallest scale.

When I was showing the build I made myself in the new group, I suddenly got: "What you made is too big!" The response of.

I suddenly realized that even if it is technically a medium scale, everyone will feel that the scale is very large.

I changed my homepage picture to one of me and Azusa_Sang piloting the Buran.

All I can say is that these two cute little faces really don't look like they'd be able to pilot this kind of spacecraft.

I originally planned to create a separate project page for Buran to showcase my plans for the entire Buran orbiter series, but I later felt my project categorization was flawed, so I deleted it.

I ultimately decided to publish Buran and Buran-Energia as two separate posts. Although technically a sub-project of MZK, this work is so worthy of its own dedicated page.

If I had to single out the element of the *Buran* build that I am most satisfied with, it would be the "Буран" lettering.

I didn't use any map art; instead, I relied purely on various blocks to create the effect—the result is quite elegant.

Since there isn't much left to do on Buran, the next blog post will likely be published once she (specifically this version) is finished.

I estimate I can finish her before August... but maybe not, I'm a procrastinator.

I've finished the Buran's cabin, and I feel like I've burned myself out.

I'm really terrible at interior design.

I'm considering remaking JR East E001 "Shiki-Shima" to a 10-gauge scale.

Not only is it my number one favorite train, but it would also be a nice tribute to my first map at PMC (the original was made in 2020).

I'm really bad at designing interiors for builds, so I usually either skip them or make them very basic.

But thinking about it more carefully... I've already created incredibly detailed interiors for MZK facilities... so am I actually good at designing interiors for builds?

Finally, Buran has very little left to make!

Buran itself is part of a larger project (MZK), but Buran's sheer size can also be considered a project in itself. These large projects, nested layer by layer, become the Hyper project.

It is good practice to check your build after finishing the work. You never know where a forgotten guideline, a hidden extra structure, or an error might be lurking.

There have been times when I made mistakes regarding the schematic selection area; although I corrected them later, I always felt bad for the people who had already downloaded my file.

It’s time to get back to work on the "Soviet space program"—even though I don't really feel like it.
It seems there’s a builder who likes to slack off behind every massive project; I can certainly understand that, though—it’s incredibly draining.
