That's looking great! I don't see that many people working in wood...Are those final pieces or are they bucks for vacuforming?

Nice to see the planning involved. Please post when you've got more photos to share!

Worked out a plan for attaching and detaching the engines during construction and painting.

A little bit out of order, but this is how the engines were formed, out of 3MM styrene.

Worked out the bulkhead plug that sits behind the canopy, smoothed it out with bomdo and formed it.

Are you concerned about the heat generated from the halogen bulbs? Those suckers get fraking hot.

 

[3D-builder]

No not worried at all.

Wow! Very exciting build. I absolutely love scratch builds. I think it's a lost art that is starting to make a come back.
