Thanks, Chaos

Time for a quick update on this:

Using 1mm styrene, I cut and placed the detail strips for the hoverfan mounts

[ATTACH=full]72660[/ATTACH]

Once I'd trimmed those and cleared the openings again, I installed the fan mounts themselves
[ATTACH=full]72661[/ATTACH]

Again with 1mm sheet styrene, I built up the "CIC" section for the lower hull.
(Think of this as being like Fury's "command center" from the Avengers version)

Using balsa to set the spacing, I attached the main engines to the back of the lower hull

[ATTACH=full]72664[/ATTACH]

While I figure out how I want to fill the main engine section, I used Bondo on the seams for the CIC section
[ATTACH=full]72665[/ATTACH]

Using five thicknesses of balsa, I created the core for what will become the island on the flight deck

I then skinned that with 1mm styrene sheet.
The seams on this will be filled and sanded before I go in and add the first of the details
