Thanks guys now for that pesky bulkhead at the
back!
Here is the bottom of the cockpit module after i
formed it and cut away the flash.
Here it is in place which gives me the big hole to
fill with the the bulkhead part. I am only going to
connect it to the top hull for now, so I can put
the cockpit tub in when it's detailed.
Ok to help figure out the shape I went back to the flash i trimmed off,
and used it as a guide to get half the shape.
Cut to fit half the space......
Removed and full template drawn on some 3mm stock....
Rough fit......and getting closer
bulkhead glued in place.......
Some clay for the gaps on the hinged points and
a little sanding to do tomorrow....
back!

So here is the rear with the clay sanded nice and smooth,
a little primer and she will look uniformed.
Ok so I went back and forth with the bottom.....
should it sit on top or inside the side panels and in front
of the bulkhead? Well i had room to play with so I opted
for it to sit inside, I wasn't getting a good fit the other way
anyway. Plus having the bottom sit in between the sides would
not add more width to them.But it would add 2 hrs of cursing and
sanding but we all know anything cursed and sanded in mdeling
building is usually worth it!

Tape down one side and run the sandpaper in between
the lower hull part and the side wall until it fits.
Good that side fits........repeat for other side,
then when you think your done......your not
keep sanding it's just never that easy!
Eventually it did fit perfect but impossible to keep
it from sinking down inside, so some evergreen strip
is put in to rest it on......and have a surface to mount
it to later.
Here it is fitting nice and snug.......thank God!!:lol
