Thanks Quaralane & Grendels, slow work

Wicked!!! that side profile shot is spot on!

Thanks John, I didn't really spot it 'by eye' but the photo makes me notice that the cockpit isn't level.....at this stage it can be rectified:

I should be back to full speed again, doing more paneling, need to work out the boarding ramp, the paintings show that its telescopic:

I would have let that slide lol. John start slinging some paint around! I will be devastated if this isn't finished by the end of the comp...no pressure ;D

Very close to level, so very close. I know you can fix that.
