StarshipBuilder's CR Galactica Build #2

[star-art]

Thanks! With the core structure now complete, skinning commenced today. The bottom trench (redesigned) went together very smoothly and is done except for the KoolShade vent. This is the only major section of the skin to be made from acrylic. Most of the rest of the head will now be skinned in styrene. That will make it easier to apply the skins, as well as reduce costs.

The top skin is already test-fitted and is ready for gluing. I still need to build the forward lower trench and install the upper and lower "lips" to finish the mouth trenches. Lots still left to do, but I should have most of it wrapped up within a week or so. I'll see if I can take some pics tomorrow. . .
