^^^ There's always someone better out there, but thank you.

Adding details.


Starting with a few layers of plywood to the right thickness, I chiselled, filed, drilled and sanded some details, adding other blocks and pieces of wood to layer in extra interest.

Lots of work on that lill' think there mate:eek. Looking good for sure...as for making it sturdier without mats, you could always do it with Rondo next time (mix of resin and Bondo).

Yeah I could mate, but at $20 for 500 grams, it's way too expensive. I have a shed full of plywood, craftwood, pine, plastic, steel and aluminium offcuts that are just perfect for this and cost me nothing but time.




I'm waiting for the next lot of CAD former drawings of the engines to arrive so I can continue with the Viper build, so this is a good fill-in project to keep idle hands busy.


Every now and then, I get a chance to scoot outside and tinker with bits of wood. Using every little opportunity, even if it's a stolen five minutes, it's amazing what can happen.

Loved the crunch of those pieces under you foot mate! The wood/metal pieces are looking great and sturdy now. As for the Bondo; here, in my neck of the wood, a 32oz can is $32 Canadian money (just about the same price as you over there).
