I seriously pumped to make lots of models this year & Im back on this baby early this morning.
I first started on getting the mandible wells boxed in. Just a little sanding to bring them down the right height to fit in flush & their done.
Then I started on fitting the armiture pipeing. I mad some support brackets with holes cout with my hole saw set that has different sizes/cuages in it. Very handy tool set.
The centre pipe is actually a little too long, like a couple of cm's so I will take it to work tomorrow & get the engineers to shorten it a little & rethread it. I have to do this so it fits the caps.
Drilled some more holes for wiring of lights so everything runs through nice. Will also get the engineers to drill some holes in the pipe to run the power source down through the armiture.
This is coming along real good. Im really happy with the last days progress. I hope to cut the sheets for the top dome today & the lowere dome supports. Have to find some plastic plumbing pipe for the cockpit but I saw that yesterday at the Hardware. Really just the bloody light holding me up...
