I haven't been on the forum for a while, its been over a year, I just decided to check in and I saw this thread. Holy cow.. Your work is very inspiring, been in a long time modeling rut, life has just consumed me. After looking through this build I felt so inspired, i've been working on kits all day. You are a true artist my friend. Keep it going.
 
Evenin All,

Cheers guys

Ello,

So whats been happening, not much to be honest, zero hours in June and only 11 in July.

Think my mojo was lost.

Think i got it back

Lets see.

Thanks for the positive vibes dudes

On with the show

So after the detail panels were finished i had to get all the inner walls to the same stage

This is the main back support


main%2Bbody%2B004.jpg

Cut the outer rings


main%2Bbody%2B008.jpg

Ready for primer


main%2Bbody%2B026.jpg



Made some small ones again to fill gaps and add depth and interest



main%2Bbody%2B030.jpg





Then it was time to move on to the nozzel internals

Started with small vector actuators


main%2Bbody%2B039.jpg




main%2Bbody%2B040.jpg


This is the vector thrust bulkhead made from a mouthwash two pack carry handle, separated and cleaned up, drilled to receive the actuators

main%2Bbody%2B044.jpg




main%2Bbody%2B046.jpg


Added T and U channel


main%2Bbody%2B054.jpg
