Hey Guys - Update Time.
I got two copies of the Centurion grille cast up using the bathtub caulk molding method. I wasn't sure I could pull off a part this big but it seemed to work out pretty good. I'll need to get some real casting equipment eventually.
I'm pretty happy about how the grille looks with the rest of the ship. Now I'm looking forward to getting some color on this one.

Touched up the primer on the top side and it's ready for paint as soon as the primer cures solid.
