Thanks guys!
Back to the body of the falcon. Have filled in the engine holes. Sanded it back and marked it out for the new holes. Made some adjustments to the engine rings as well.
While thining the edge plating I realised that the raised areas inside the plating were the side walls attach were no were near as far back as the should be. The inner walls around the ship should be the same as the inner circle.
So I sanded them down so I could cut the walls and space the ship the right height.
I have marked how far in the walls will go.
I did the same around the mandables as I found the greebles I have made become too high when including the raised parts.
My new wall hight for this build is 1.6cm. So for the mandables it is a 1.2cm spacer, as the thikness of the kit top and bottom are 2cm each.
I have debated with others as to the hight of the curved side walls being the same as the mandables or slightly larger. I of the opinion that the spacers have to be higher, as they are further back in the body of the ship and therefore are higher by 1cm in this build. (sorry didnt take pic).
Other areas worked on are the front mandable strips, both top and bottom. (first pic) they have been lowered to the correct hight. And the piping all over the ship has been removed. I used a sanding disk in a hand drill. The hand drill on low worked much better than the rapid spin of the dremil.
This one needs a bit of work though.
Sorry its a long post.
Lastly after doing a dry fit with the walls in place (spot on 1.6cm) I tried the placement of a few scale parts I have made (none finished) to see if the side wall hight works. I think considering I did these parts from measurments of the real things and scaled them down against the AMT size, that 1.6cm is pretty close. Could actualy be higher, what do you think? Sorry bad pic.
Well thats it. Thanks for looking.
