Not much of an update, I've been filling in the openings in the P2. I used styrene for most of it, and filler for the P1 area.

 

[robn1]

I've tweaked the P2 as much as I can, so I added the side details. I made the P1 ledge from .1in quarter round styrene.

The three detail strips are 3/64in styrene rods. I cut them to length. TO THE CHOPPA!

I sanded the ends to round them over. Then marked a line on the P2 side. The bottom strip was applied right on the line.

The fronts of the rods need to be rounded, and the ledges need to be shortened a bit at the front, but here they are finished.

The front view really looks like crap :lol but it is smooth.

I cleaned up the fronts of the detail strips, and cut about 1/8in from the P1 ledges.

For the top rear strips, I decided it would be easier to put them on as a complete piece. So I first glued the strips together.

I marked a guide line on the master, and added a disc to provide a drill guide for the ten turn.

I'm taking a break while the glue sets, so I can shape the strips. More in a little bit.

I got the top rear details done.

Later today I'll through some primer on it.

 

[robn1]

First primer coat. A few holes to fill, but looks good. I masked the details so the primer wouldn't fill them in. I'll remove the mask for the last primer coat.

[Tremas]

That is beautiful.

I've shown a pic to my wife, and she couldn't believe that it was styrene!

She then asked, "Why can't *you* do that?"

 

[robn1]

Thank you, and your wife!
