Thanks , John ;D

   I've been working on the pilot .
The Giraffe is pretty much done ...

It needs :

The aft tank needs to be strapped down .
   Just received these beautiful 2 & 3 mm seat-belt material , Tuner Model Manufactory :

   What ?? ! No buckles ? !

The scissor assembly needs completion .
More resin bolts now on hand :

I've built-up and cut-down and built-up this pilot- dude : more than enough   ...
from No Butt    to   Giant OOmPaLoomPa Butt :
   Weird sock-legs
   to .....

   I think I'm back where I started    ;D
....   but I couldn't be because I removed quite a bit of styrene   ..
   any way -
   been staring at it too much

Figuring , now , if I should cut away that harness and - I have to sculpt all new belting anyway .
But I'm thinking that remainder around his shoulders is the cockpit harness   ..
   not something he'd be trouncing around the hanger-deck in

   [ATTACH=full]78252[/ATTACH]


   Hopefully be finishing him up this week

The whole thing still needs filters and washes   ..

   Then they're going into a Moon Hanger dio with an overhead bridge-crane and most likely a wheeled handling tractor with a boom .
   The Giraffe will be sitting on wheeled skids to make it easy to tow around in the hanger .
Probably have a mechanic or two

   I'd like to enter it @ Modelmania this year   - 2016
   The end of April .

   never switch to decaf
