ok so ive moved onto the hatch i have some perspex here for the hatch im going to make it work but later i will likely go back to the hardware store and get the thicker type but this is okay once ive added a small wooden frame to it and also big hinges that will strengthen it a lot ☺

 

[Markas1976]

u can see the measuring tape and small log on the top there thats to keep it in position i have cut the perspex there to the shape of the wooden design on the top similar to the shape on my x wing toy where the back end of the x wing meets the hatch.

i am slowly piecing together multiple starwars props and bought character replica suits on mannequins and more and this yesr i will be busy again making props but a lot of this year and nxt spring will involve landscaping what i can to the garden planting, painting etc to try create a starwars themed landscape as best i can to go with the props im making. i plan having a collection here for charity likely cancer or a childrens charity as an example where people can give small donations if they wish. i hope people will visit when im more ready by june 2020. there has been many people quite local and in other parts of the uk thats said they will definatley come to visit and even one or 2 people from abroad.

u can't have enough pics or angles when ur making stuff like this ☺.
when i made the back end of the x wing by the way i made the skeleton frame for the rear end and sat a piece of the wood on top to replicate the height it would be using a pool cue or long cut off piece of wood to lay at an angle going from the start of the cockpit up to the start of the top of the rear end and adjusted it accordingly till was happy then i attached it to the rest of the x wing and began to add its coverings sounds easy i know . i kept adjusting it a tiny bit here and there stepping bk and holding my toy x wing looking back and forth till i was happy it was close enough ☺.
