It's been a long time since I've posted any new photos here of my progress. There's a good reason for that.
For the past few weeks I've been detailing the bottom of the hull. It is nearly done. Like the superstructure, there are just a few more pieces that I am waiting for to complete it. One of the pieces I've not been able to find is the elliptical dome. I need one that is 3.5" wide, or about 9 mm. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. There are still the patches of gray here and there to paint, but I want to take a break from the bottom for now.
Anyway, now I can move on to detailing the top of the hull. I only have to do the panel lines, the chips and the edges. It will take a long time, but should not take as long as the bottom did.
So, for the latest update, here is a before and after of the bottom.
It took weeks to turn this...
