eh up all,
sorry for bein away for so long i`ve been workin on a little snowspeeder dio for a show which i`ve now finished...and boom i`m back with a revenge,the old bird was doin my head in so i had to take a step back!
well since my last post i`ve made up some alan key with wide heads into new slim line heads to screw the top half and the bottom together.
next i started on the magnets near the front mandibles to hold the front section down and hopefully sort out afew gaps that i had?but i`ve run out of milliput,so i`ve put that task on the back burner til i go shoppin on saturday.
i did get into makin up the cockpit cone,i started off makin up a jig for the basic shape and an extenion for the tunnel(i think it`s to short)
i then usin card made up the shape and transfered it onto 2 pieces of half mil thick styrene,after gluin them together with an about inch overlap,i got in something like
after some cuttin with some of my wifes nail trimmers...eeeeeeerrr and some filin down (my files) i got the bottom piece on which will hold it in place i got this
then i called it a night but before i did i doddled where the windows should be(i think):confused
and finally i liberated some thin sheet copper form work,which i`m gonna use as the grillin around the cockpit cone and the tunnel,but there is alot of little cut`s to be made and if i dont bugger it up it should look sweet,i hope!:wacko
well thats it for this one,hope ya like and christrom i`m doin it for the show!!lol....cheers peza
