Merry New Year,

Welcome everyone to 2015, I hope everybody had a fun and safe Christmas and New Years holiday and I wish you all the best for the coming year.

So too business,

Thanks 'Q',

Remember this is still what I like to call my plug, the basic core shape of the ship. Sections can, and will be, removed later in the build to accomodate details, but for now it's doing ok considering i have no clue as to what i'm doing.

Well, I only had two days of bench time over the holidays because my Mommy was visiting.

First, I cut the central pipe/bearing shaft and drilled holes in the outer panels of the engine support arms, this was so I could re-align and square up a bit, the side support arms. I will clean the pipe end flush later.

I then cut and glued a piece of 1/8" styrene to the bottom of the engine support arm,

1.0mm on the top, oversized so it could be trimmed back,
