Thanks Solander & Leighbo, there is something that gives me a nostalgic feeling when I see those paintings by Ralph McQuarrie

Wow that is a compliment matesy, thanks (you might not be saying that when this goes tits-up)

Thanks Grendels, Igard & Quaralane, I can't put this one down

Thanks Tanker52, hopefully I can make the dimensions match

Just a small update, I had to cut off the top jaw (& will have to do the same for the lower) as it widened too much at the turret, it was also too long.

I've modified the mandibles in the top half of the ship (will follow up with the lower half also)

Ive also made the walkway to the cockpit:
