Time for a long-overdue update. One of the reasons this project is taking a while is because I am juggling more builds at one time than I think I have ever attempted. All of them are challenging as well. I am building two head sections, two neck sections, and two engine sections -- all at the same time.
The head section for this build is being wrapped up as we speak. I have finalized the top hatch, installed the top skin, side skins, and built the eye sockets. The upper and lower "lips" are on. The only detail left to add is a "shelf" of sorts on top of each "upper lip." Then, some minor puttying, sanding, and cleanup and this section will be ready for delivery.
Sorry for the poor photography. The white styrene parts are really bright and contrast strongly with the black plex. I have a weird combination of incandescent and fluorescent lighting in the shop and the camera really doesn't like it (or me, it seems, as I rarely get any good pictures from it). LOL
