So! Shuttlebay DONE! TECHNICALLY...[ATTACH=full]87649[/ATTACH]

See, there is a tab that broke off when I test fit it before painting anything on the front(rear considering its the butt end of the ship) left side looking at it as in the pic. I thought it was a clean break but when I glued the two parts together I saw a big hole in the wall where the tab broke. And because the upper half being thin PLA, it warped after painting slightly. So while I got the walls now straight ect. There's a gap. So I used Micro Kristal Clear to fill the slight gap and the hole. I will try to find something to set in front of the hole on the floorplate. Then painted the MKC with black paint after it set.

I then took the photoetch fantail part, rolled it and glued it to the clear fantail. It currently has been painted with primer and hull color, and I will scrap the paint off the guidance lights and paint them from behind. I didn't wanna do it that way but when I tried liquid mask... well, a mess is what it was.[ATTACH=full]87650[/ATTACH]

Currently I am back to installing the transparencies to the bridge. I am noticing some REALLY naff edges on the control panels I already glued on. I do not like. But I dunno if I can fix them now.
