Building the Armoured Airship Zaphnora

I recorded this video before my last CAD tutorial, and my running commentary was even more rambling and nonsensical in this one. I'm not sure which was worse, to be honest. There is no actual rendering in this video, just assembly, but I tried a few new things, including using a poorly-rendered figure of my self-insert character (which I have since named "mini-me") to show the scale.

Errata: "платформа скрытной установки" is the DIRECT translation of "disappearing gun platform." I was unaware of this at the time I recorded the video, but the actual name for such a device is "скрывающий лафет."

Speaking of which, you can skip to 1:01:30 if, at any time, you get sick of watching me install disappearing gun platforms.
