Hi guys, I've been quiet but I've been working!
I've pretty much finished the waist section and most of the rear arm detailing. The waist was tricky as I have more surface area there than needed, so had to spread things out to fill the space. I got away with it with only one extra greeblie.
Also been very busy detailing the entire bay side and trench. The inner trench details are mostly kitbashed in there as I have no clue what the really tiny parts are. I did the same for the port side and it looks OK. I'll leave the super accurate bay trenches to you rivet counters.
The newly completed piping on the front and rear arm. Due to the local hobby shop being more interested in stocking RC cars than restocking the brass rod section, I grabbed a bunch of fine spring steel used for winding custom RC car springs and used that instead! It's a bitch to work with, but glues down OK.
Once again, I have run into the Elinchrom metal hex mesh in a photo studio. Has anyone ever priced than stuff instead of Plascore?
