Thanks mate. The mock was looking good except for one major point & that was the angle of the slope. Its supposed to be an even line from top of engine to waist & mine has a 10mm dip... So rip tear & made some wedges to plum up the top to straighten out the line. Worked wuite well & beats me how I thought of the wedges to make the job as easy as it was. The hardest part is cutting the 3mm styrene
It was a big rise which is obviously goingto change angles elswhere. This will be interesting
So also braced the waist for when arthritis kicks in down the track & everything gets a bit brittle
Have now started fixing the waist walls & adjusting as I go. Building with 1.5mm changes the 0,5mm I mocked up in drastically. I have bevelled all the joining edges aswell
