December 2021 -
The following ILM photo was used to establish the size of the front mounting tubes. I'm not sure whether I will add these to my armature however I like the idea of simply having them for authenticity.
I can't imagine practically needing to mount from these locations, and a substantial rig would be required if it was ever utilised.
I took the time to model a few of the key Kettenkrad parts which are used on the mandible sidewalls, amongst other locations.
This proved useful for verifying Andre and Joshua's Mandible sidewall core height of 2", which is before any styrene armour plating is added.
Using Joshua's awesome Sealab files from GrabCAD I was able to determine the overall width and position of the cut between the the two pieces that make up the very front of the entry ramp on the Starboard lower docking arm.
I can also make out the position of the other greeblies and styrene armour plating from my photogrammetry result.
