Very clean lines, true to Joe Johnston's vision.

Your panel lines look great. You have such steady hands.

Thanks guys,…all I see are faults!!

some more slight progress

Again the body section is made from PVC Foamex made into boxes, then clad with greeblies

Thanks for looking

Very nice indeed Question: how do you like to work with Foamex and what kind of glue do you use?

One of the earlier posts says he uses superglue and it is easy to work with.

I admire your use of greeblies on the body using larger parts that you can mirror image on the other side.

Yep, Foamex is brilliant, I love it, use it for everything, the actual model…boxes for pouring silicone into when moulding etc,…really easy to work with…& superglue to hold it together

Thank you scotthothpatrol, I’m actually building the body, then casting it, so that I can put those greeblies back into the greeblie bag

thanks

Great update!! It's coming together very nicely

Reuse? Back in the bag? This makes you the Elon Musk of greebles! All mine were expendables..you know what we need? 'Greeblescan!' Folks who cannot do standard CGI scan in greebles...which can then be enlarged or shrunk...then 3D printed....or virtually assembled so only the finished product need be printed. I'm poor, but have picked up lots of interesting bits over the years...a catalog of greebles from all over can beat CAD/CAM fatigue. Hey Hazlab
