... been working on various details .

The additional resin bolts to complete the scissor lift have arrived at Hobby Link Japan ;D ;D ;D ;D

.. I should be shipping about the 15th   --   so the Giraffe will be complete before the New Year !
   Very Cool ;D

I decided to pose the pilot walking up to the Giraffe preparing to do a pre-flight inspection .
With a light in one hand and a clipboard in the other .
   Probably   .
   So a new, larger base is in order .   I have ideas   ;D .   Circular - ish , most likely . 1/4" steel most definitely .
The pilot will have magnets in the right sole ... with his left foot up - mid stride .

   STEP ONE :

   This is when the ultrasonic knife rocks !
   In fact -- re-working 1/35 figures is what I bought it for   .

Hollowed out the tops of the upper and lower legs and then test-fit and adjusted ..

I definitely need to adjust his right foot downward a little to fall flat
... and of course remove the excess material at his middle .

then the arms ,,

I plan on using one or more of these air-dry modeling clays --   all complete unknowns to Uru
