Nah, assembly was worst part on this one. The utter lack of ceiling height in there due to all the ducting etc meant I had to install the steel framework and motor while I was inside it with a gap only someone as skinny as me could escape thru.
I won’t go into detail as to how complicated that bugger is but the sphere splits into 8 pieces, internal framework and motor. All in it weighs under 300kg which is damn impressive considering it’s all glass mirror, no shitty acrylic.
The House rigger had the dubious pleasure of trying to get the slings and hoists in the best spot while simultaneously arguing with the director and other important people.
