It's great to be alive.
The bulk of the second gun is a resin casting. These bits are separate:

Looking fantastic, you do know you will be hunted down & killed if this doesn't become a Kit?![]()
Cheers. I am feeling a bit like a machine at the moment unfortunately.
Don't worry Guy, I plan on remastering everything for moulding.
I did a bit of work today in between making a clay wall and fibreglassing my other project. I scratchbuilt the 'flakvierlingesque' parts, added some correct kit parts and some hardware.
I've also made a start on the underside, but I am still waiting for some of the donor kits to arrive. No pics yet.
Here is the rear gun in context:
Thanks to a photo that I was given over at Resin Illuminati I have found 2 major parts for the secondary wing recesses too.
Just in case anyone was wondering, this is my actual course final project that I am trying to complete along side the shuttle. 4 weeks to go.

Centre lathes. 6 of them. 2 are 8' long:
The saws:
Milling machines (manual and CNC)

My favorite. Our trusty old vac-former:

Great work, Neil! Your scratch-building is super clean.
Neil,
