All I can say is Wow. Well I said a lot of other things but they can't be printed. The level of detail is awesome and I am still amazed at the thought process to your builds. - Darren

Onward,

Started to get the undertray sorted out. First I assembled the frame work.

















Fitted end plates








Ready for the under tray





It took a while to get it fixed






Filler rod












Took alot of clamping to stick in every place i wanted























Plan view






Vent thingy






Still a few areas to attach, lots of filling and sanding to do, and maybe some skinning but overall I like the shape.














Thats all for now

Take care,


Cheerio

Additional underside floor panels





Dry fit of the side pod assemblies








Tube








Cut









Sanded and dry fittted







Fitted detail pods for side downward thruster thingies













With vents in position








Started to position the side pod / intake geometry stuff, I am really making this up as I go at this stage.













Underside details with tea tray and ride hight wing assembly













The technical term for this type of building is bodge-it-and-scarper technoligies

I know the rough shape I want i just don't have foam and a vac former to hand right now, so super glue streach with masking tape and bend that styrene people,


This is my method, remember, everything can be filled and sanded,














Cut and fit underside panels




















Started work on the top profile
















Made a big step forward tonight about the final overall rear end profile.













Thats it for tonight friends,
