There are several things to think about.

Transport of the ship. You would probably need to rent a large cube van if you can build the ship so it breaks down.

Hotels should have frieght elevators but you should make sure the parts can go through the doors and hallways. Some older hotels have narrow hallways.

Make sure there is enough space to display the ship. some hotels are small but convention centers should be fine.

Lawyers - yeah they ruin all the fun and there might be liability issues. Does the insurance of the sci-fi convention allow something like this. What if someone got hurt getting in or out and someone sued?

Thanks for the pictures and advice. I would like to make the ship out of fiberglss like the ones displayed for that professional look, but I don't have access to a shop which deals with fiberglass and I wouldn't know how to do that. If I made this vehicle I would have to modify the plans so the ship would be transportable and I would bring it to fairly local conventions via my 3/4 ton truck with a trailer.

I've looked at the plans to Jupiter 2 and for an Eagle and have come to the conclusion that they are too difficult. I will now look at the Viper and see if that would be easier.
