I used the front part of the canopy and the rear as
templates to begin to make the parts for the cockpit
module.

Then I glued it in.....I will just have to keep it
protected by taping it up.

Beginning of the cockpit module....I am not going
for the rounded look inside, I just don't feel like
making another buck at this point and using what
clay I have left.

Looking at the FM kit and at the pattern I made for
the fender flares, it looked like I could find that shape
in there. SO I formed one and cut it until it was close.

After a lot of trimming with the dremel the shape
was in there! :)

Then I just laminated some styrene
discs underneath to create the lip.
Still needs some cleaning up....
