I've had a couple of days downtime as I ran out of glue! lol
I have re-stocked now...
I manged to find something to hold the ship while I work on it - an old lamp stand.
It's weighted at the base and has a ~15mm dia metal upright.
I printed a small plug that goes into the armature with a hole to fit over the upright to make it more snug.
Seems to works well.
You have to use what you have available!
The ship is progressing well.
I have fitted the nose section and the 3d printed parts worked well there.
There is a hole in the base of each "nostril" in case I decide to add lighting later.
I've added the panels to the underside at the front (where all the "important" stuff is).
The styrene/hips sheets I will need later in the build have also arrived.
I wasn't able to source any locally, so had to order them in.
I have printed the last couple of pieces I need to complete the base of the ship and will continue on it tomorrow.
