First I didn't know I could click on the photo, and click View Full size... man what a detail. High resolution! Thanks Jason for the link.

Looking awesome Dave!

So... Bjorn reminded me to post an update here. I'll keep it short this time :) Since last time: - Top dome on there - Engine deck, still figuring things out, nothing glued on there. Working out the center parts, still not confidnt to glue the first parts down. The vents are just placeholders...

I do the same...

I want to do second that! Thanks so much. But also people sharing their work and progress, super interesting and ofcourse also valuable information.

Love your approach Dave! Much more efficient on the material / weight / cost as mine.

Hope it works out for you :)

That looks very very close john! good find.

Wow Searun, you moved fast! And what an incredible build. Now that I have mine in a sort off full shape, I know that it takes some courage to hang this beast on a few ropes in the air. (I couldn't sleep if I did that. haha. Your build is something special. I use CAD and printing. But this is...

As promised some more details about the build so far... Not sure where the photos went but when I completed the yellow mid section printing, I glued everything together (Duh..) And had plexi lasercut, 3mm thickness. I am working of the updated CAD file from joshua (Maruska) and have made my own...

Yes...that was a real headache... the best to have a look at the kit itself. I have to check some notes how you can see if you have the right one. What I can remember is that you can't go straight on the boxart for the release.

Yeah for sure... although this was a sum of my own research and advise from Stu and some other people. And the doing the domes seperate this way.. on top of the midsection gave some opportunity to Test if this approach worked. In essence the Midsection of mine is the same as Stu his midsection...

Yes Michael, for the 'mid-section' (the yellow stuff) In retrospect it's not the most efficeint way. My motivation was, I would be looking a long time at it... so it would better be cool looking. Wood / plexi would be more efficient (time and money wise). But thats what it is now. My full...

Oh forgot: Welcome Dave, good to see another fellow 5Ft builder. Congrats on the start of your journey!

Back again.. Some update on the mandible walls, and the upper dome. I'll post some photos later on HOW I did this. (It's 3D printed, with epoxy coating. And a djusted Ribs for where the cutouts wil come.) Still some cleanup todo. But getting there. Happy with the progress...
