eh up all,
i`d like to say you`ll be seein alot more i`ve this build from now on as i`ve got to get some more done for the burnley family fun day in may,which i`m really lookin forward to...
so here`s where i`m at and what i`ve been doin to it.
firstly i started to join the 2 halves together,but in a way that i can get into it to do any fixin in the future!
so i started with some bolts which i had to cut down to fit into the landin leg bay`s.
the nut`s i choose are these plaster board nuts so i had to cut the inside of the top section
next i super glued the nut in place
and finally i surrounded the nuts with some super fine milliput which i shaped up to help the bolts fall into position
here are the 3 bolts in place
next i started on the ramp again due to one of my mates snappin some of it,which was nice of him,so he`s now banned from touchin again under pain of death.
so i had to strip it all down again and re-make some pieces,but luckerly it still works when i glue it all together
so thats it for now,i`m gonna have a little play on it tonight,cheers peza ;D

eh up all,
well i got alittle more done this week,i was wantin to get the magnets done on the front mandibles finished off but due to me not havin any milliput i`ll have to leave it til the weekend when i go shoppin.so i started in build the cockpit cone.
first off i made a jig so i can form the basic shape.
and whilest that was dryin i made an extention for the tunnel(mine looked to short).
next i made 2 copies of the curved cone piece usin some card as my template,i cut out these in half mil thick styrene with an inch overhang,
once that was all dry i made alittle ring so it will fit snug around the tunnel
and finally i started doddlin where the windows should be goin ???
oh and i got some thin sheet copper liberated from work for the grill around the tunnel entrance,now this is gonna take a while to do,if i dont bugger it up!
cheers peza

eh up all,i`ve done alittle more today,and managed to get all my windows cut out and some half mil thick styrene to line the inner side,i`ve been cuttin each window out 1 at a time just to try and cut the risk of snappin the cone when there`s no strength in it
so finally i got them all done and tomorrow if i can i`ll start on the end piece,and then the armour plates and work my way back!not done any more to my copper just yet!here are 2 images of where it`s upto now
hope ya like and i`ll see ya soon,cheers peza
