Actually,there are four more rivets that go on this,as well as the two bolts beside the rectangular piece. This is still in the main stages of completion.

And Happybirth day and Happy Holiday 427 Cobra!! I look forward to seeing more of your work in the new year!!

Thank you! This is the most hectic time of the year,so I'll be twice as busy as usual.



Still not done,but the holidays are taking up my free time with shopping,wrapping presents,and baking. Tomorrow we're having company for dinner. This WILL be the last I'll be able to post for a while. Most of this is done,but there are still small parts that need to be attached to the base. I had to juggle last minute shopping,cooking supper,wrapping presents,and finishing this up. There were some last minute changes I had to make to this.


I know that this doesn't look like much,but I had to make four versions of the small styrene piece in between the acrylic parts. This is very difficult to establish the correct angle of incidence between the corners,and the braces of the styrene supports. I also had to reposition the brass tube pieces that I cut,and shaved into rings. I had to wetsand a lot of uneveness out of these parts,and remove superglue smudges.
