Evenin all,
Thanks for your comments my friends, appreciate you stopping by
Lots of faffing about with design elements that always makes me feel i haven't accomplished much.
But here goes,
And were off.
Front wing, after lots of attempts this is what i ended up with, shape wise
Marked it out on 1.5mm styrene sheet
Cut it out,
Cleaned it up,
Split it up into its core elements,
Using 1.5mm tubing as my transition piece, stuck it back together with some angles
Filled with squadron green,
Sanded and with some edge profile work done
Quick squirt of primer
Decided it looked better flipped around so i then added the front elements
First with 'H' cross section piece
Then with tube
Then a piece of 'U' and a piece of half round on the tip
Then it was filled, squadron again
Sanded
Here you can see the cross section of all the different pieces
And then some more precice shaping on all edges
Came up with an idea for the attachment to the nose using tube that i will shape all fancy with sheet and filler later
Tube bent and glued
Filled,
Sanded,
Added some 'T' section on the ends, next thinking about more wing elements and the end plate
And thats where i'm at,
Thats me done, till next time
Take care

Lovely work always - its such a simple element that you have given a beautiful dynamic to! a really graceful shape. I love this build and cant wait to see what happens next!
That is just brilliant! Every post gets more and more detailed... 
Evenin All,
Wow, thank you so much guys for the positive vibes man, we're looking groovy baby.
Enought of that,
Swazbeenoccurin then.
Slow, and I mean, Sloooooooow progress lately
Returned to the front wing to add a couple of end plates
Made some small outer end plate elements
After much filling with super glue and using baking soda as a filler ended up with these
Finished
And dry fitted
Then i moved on to the rear wing, the design is just a larger version of the front to start with, we will remove and add as we go.
Basic design
Cut out the basic shape
Separated
"tube" one adjoining edge,
Attach to the tube, your next piece in the wing sequence
and the next
Tube one side and mark ready for a hinge assembly
I then moved on to the rear of the main body, put some spacers to fix the gap width of the side pods
Improved the rear underside central profile
Started work on the upper rear profile
Added the first skin to the top of the engine exhaust fairings
And that's about it,
See you soon
take care

Thanks Mikey,
They've changed our computer privilages at work so no more random surfing, booo hissss, haven't been around as much lately
When i get to the bench i model not so much surfing at the mo.
But i do have a big project planned for the new year so i must finish this before then, maybe even before the Orlando thing in September
Are you going to go this year?
