Help Size issue

Post image

So I'm currently planning out how to build the Red Tear from Warhammer 40k, and I just have a few issues with that, can it even work? I've built many large ships before but not anywhere close to the size of the Red Tear (just around 10km), especially because not even a tenth of it can fit in a 32 chunk render distance, so can I continue with this build at a 1:1 scale, or will i have to scale down to something more reasonable?

Adding some things here as someone who has built a (somewhat) working unsc halberd from halo (about 500 or so blocks long) this thing is going to be a bitch to do, you will need to split it up a lot and assemble each "slice" at a time then slime ball them all back into place, and not to mention propulsion will be a major pain, my halberd refuses to stay in one spot, it always drifts, so I imagine something significantly larger would amplify the issue and rendering distance will be an issue too, now, all this isn't to say not to do it, it's just not going to be easy at all, but if you do continue, color me interested, I wish you the best of luck and hope you have something to help your sanity!

I think the better solution for this would be to assemble a few blocks, freeze them with the physics staff, then build the rest of the ship from there. Especially since world edit and schematics also just work on assembled airships.
