Hey Jaitea,
Great build, you really show ingenuity and some great problem solving. I am glade you have so many pics to share as well. As they say a "picture is worth a thousand words," very helpful to study them.
I have a long way to go on my build just begin to cut it and sand it, so much preliminary work to do before I can get to the fun parts of gribbles and all that.
I noticed that you haven't used a "cylinder," between the gun well like John Martin did (starship modeler article), just curious as to why?
Have a good one.
