Thanks Tom!!
You are right,the motivation had been pretty low there for a fair while.It's just something i've been going through and i know you fully undrstand where i'm coming from!But this is a fun piece to play with and thankfully now that nearly everything is on hand to really make some progress with it.I'm sorta on a mission with it now,it's got to be done and off the bench before the start of the next build,and that one will be starting in no more than 3 week's.So i gotta pull me finger out and make more progress than i did today with it.But i've still got the night here so i still hope to get the cockpit base fitted and sealed up tonight.
The little FA i achieved today was getting the front power supply point's fitted with the wires soldered in place in them and also the reshaping of the section leading to the front mount point.Just some epoxy putty to start with and then some normal putty to fill all that in.I wanted the epoxy behind where the brass tubes are so they had something to hold em good and proper then i just used 5 min epoxy to glue those brass tubes in once all that was shaped good enough.
Oh and one shot just showing a side view,i like the look of the shuttle very much!
