Had a chance to do a few things in the evening this week. Small minor details but they need completed and I keep moving along. First off, I had to fill in some of my work from my last visit on the wing some of the lines did not turn out that great. I sanded down the bondo spot putty that I applied and began adding the detail after some re-scribing.

Here is some work as I go,, sort of speak..

I also finally got the top scribed as good as it is going to get. The line's look really deep in the pic but after priming it should come out. I have scribed the top, filled, repeated on and on some many times that this is going to have to be how it is. I guess it's hard because it flexes gives and it's hard to hold the ruler down and make the line. I found that having a dish towel in the center (rolled up as padding) helps keep things stable and the plastic does not give as much when scribing the roof.

A coat of primer makes everything look better...

I still need to do some detail on the completed wings of the ship.. The first one I did pretty much is complete. Lot's of tube and fine styrene cut to help get all the little detail complete.

I have two wings left and can't wait to get over that hump!!
Here is a pic of one of the two that needs completed and what I have finished.. beside's minor details.

I also at some point scratched out some little seat's I did not go crazy with the detail and I'm not sure if I will use the kit pilots or not. The cockpit needed a little work I made a center console and gave the ship a nice navigation screen. The fiber also needed cut off closer to the holes each was pushed through. This seemed to brighten things up a bit. I painted the console screen yellow and then clear Tamiya green on top. Seem's to glow a little bit or stand out as much as fit. I need to make two back seats yet..

Another pic -- Cockpit more completed lit up!!

Sorry, can't seem to get the dark with light photo's down tonight. I took about 5 and none are that great but here is a pic with most of the light's in the room out to see more lighting..

Thank's for looking my buddy and I plan to get ready to finish the tile work and get ready to stone the wall's in my basement this weekend but I hope a get a few hours to continue, it's been a lot of fun taking on this kit and taking time doing it.

Hey, thanks for looking!

Mike
