eh up all,i`ve been doin abit more this week.firstly with a pin vice i`ve put aload of holes in my control panels for the fibre optics,next with alittle heat from a lighter i bubbled up the ends of the opticsso they would`nt pull through the holes i made and secured them in place with some pva glue.

next i had to cut away the bottom and the sides of the cockpit to let the optics go through without snapping them.

and finally i put the four bottom control panels in and only 2 got snapped (casualties of war)
so that`s where im at at the mo...oh and i filled the gunners circular scope full of optics and glued it to the gunners panel.my next headache is to get all the optics into a sheaf of some sort..i`m thinkin the kids straws..poor kids have nawt if it`s got a use for my models!! ;Dbut you do know that i have to replace everything i liberate..here are my progress photos so far..hope ya like cheers peza

eh up all,
i`ve been doin abit more this week i managed to get all the cockpit panels in and had a test fit..

also i made a start on the other bits of detail i wanted to do,so it`s startin to come together now but everything is just test fitted at the mo in sub asemblies..

finally i did a bit of drilling out on the back of the engine ports because it looked to me that there could be a little tinkering on them,i used a pin vise to made the holes on the back abit deeper which i think looks better!

here ya some images of my latest progress hope ya like!!cheers peza

[Grendels]

Looks great, and it should be quite the regular chap with all that fiber in the innards!

 

[Thundergod]

Wow , that cockpit looks excellent . I've been playing about with LED's myself and I'm seriously tempted to try out fibre optics as I've never attempted them . ( I've actually got the set that came with the old Star Destroyer kit knocking around somewhere , I'll have to hunt them down !)
