Thanks PrimitiveDave, Its all hand skills.:facepalm You see this little guy...thats me when I think of how much time I have in this so far. Even though I have a better handle on this subject (thanks to you and Nwerke) It is still a real time occupier. It is nice that almost all of the lattice geometries that are needed to cover this model properly (as per this scale) were cast into the MPC kit and it seems that I need to make another (different)group of frames to go behind the power centers. Pictures soon.
Alright Nwerke, its your turn. Anything is better than the kit stuff. For reference, the average width of the lattice is .030" (or 1/32"). I'm keeping this in mind when I make the landing pads. I did briefly ponder photoetched brass but thats out of my wheelhouse. Before you go too far, I need to know terms for compensation ($). Because I have an Overlord (wife), I try to stay out of financial trouble. You understand. Like I said, we'll talk. Now, everybody back to work!
