eh up all.
i managed to get the cockpit finished and the tunnel attached to the main model,firstly i had to cut the old tunnel back abit because with the grillin and the cockpit it just stud out to far.so usin my dremel i cut the tunnel back and removed the armour plates that would get damaged or need replacin.
i cut it and messed it up abit,so i had to line the inner of the tunnel with some half mm thick styrene,after that i covered the gap with some milliput white(superfine) and used a wooden ice lolly stick to shape it up roughly,with a little but of water at the end just to get it nice and smooth,and i wont have to sand it back much!
then i had to put the armour plates back on,some went on and fitted just the same but some needed to be cut back and some needed to be made new
finally a coat of primer and it`s some our alright.
so thats it for the cockpit,i`m gonna leave the interior for now and do some work on the side detail`s and the dockin rings..hope ya like the progress so far..cheers peza
