    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.

    Thanks guys.

    Here is a pic of the underside as of this evening:



    I thought you guys might be interested in seeing the workshop that lies beneath our studio here at uni.

    Centre lathes. 6 of them. 2 are 8' long:


    The saws:


    Milling machines (manual and CNC)


    Rapid prototyping and lasercutting:


    My favorite. Our trusty old vac-former:

    Nice workshop, the company I work for has just invested in a rapid prototyping machine We do a lot of 5 axis cnc work and your workshop is almost as tidy as ours
