Evenin all,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting guys,

I managed 10 hours at the bench over the weekend (busy wife) and did quite a lot of work on the final body shape

Still trying to figure out the rear wing and the front wing, but i think i know what to do with the front

The nose itself area is still a WIP.......


Sand, fill, sand, fill...............

Started on the area behind the cockpit and the blend into the impact structure which is at the back





stuff%2520003.jpg




I had installed two rods extending from the outer cockpit walls to the center at the back, they had a nice flowing curve to them these were for suppport


I bent over the 1mm (0.039") sheet and glued it to the central profile support and the cockpit curve and the back central area

After sanding the edge flush, i did the same on the other side



stuff%2520011.jpg




After a rough whittling with me #11



stuff%2520015.jpg


After some shaping


stuff%2520019.jpg


Forced, with a heat gun, two pieces of 1mm just to fill the large gap



stuff%2520022.jpg


Then i skinned the inner contour with 0.5mm(0.020") sheet, letting it just flow into the area and covering a large slit in the front intake area



stuff%2520023.jpg


After trimming, side two.



stuff%2520025.jpg


Needs a bit of tweeking but its close



stuff%2520028.jpg





stuff%2520029.jpg




Back to the 1mm for the front panels, large overlap to be sanded back and filled later




stuff%2520030.jpg


Basic left side shaping


stuff%2520032.jpg


Just this small recess at the back to fill next



stuff%2520034.jpg




Top profile

It seems that lot of your "greebling" work (is it a correct term to mean super-detailling work?)... so lot of it gonna be hidden by these cards. No ?

Overall, it's Gag's art : AWESOME!!!
As says a french Canadian dance judge (JM Genereux) in a show my girls watch every week : "I buy it!!!!"
 
The greebling, (detailing) as we call it, will dictate where the actual panels can be installed....
In my thinking anyway...
Otherwise its just an empty sack of Shite,...
which I could easily build 8)
Looking forward to the next installment Gag
Cheers
 
Hey gag when it comes here next time? Your works are always so great. Can we meet in November in Telford you and your models times?
 
Your work is always awesome. I really learned a lot from just studying your photos and how you do things.

Keep inspiring us all Gag!
