eh up all.
here is another post for us on the gearbox section,first off i made up one of the add on's on the circular
sub section and made i start on the front and back sections,the back one was made with styrene and my
favorite tubin lollysticks! ;D
here's the back all done.
so i carried on with the front section before i started on the fins/ribs i noticed that where the bolts went it was'nt flat like the rest of the assembly but shaped sort of semi circular,so out with the lollystick again.
one of the bits i had to build next was a grilled area,which i started with some half mm styrene and some half mm styrene rod.it took abit to do it,but came out pretty good.
as you can see i started to put the bolts on and after i finished the fins/ribs it was all done for the buildin,i gave it a shot of primer and after a little bit of filin i got some photos
well thats it for this post...thanks for lookin...cheers peza.

eh up all.
it's time for another update on my progress..first off i finished the side detail,with the aid of many chopped up pens,styrene and plastic lollisticks.
next i gave it a tidy up and a shot of primer.
and finally i mounted it in place and started on the detail beside it that comes down from the antenna.
..
well thats it for that side for now,i then turned my attention to the side detail by the cockpit and the dockin ring,
first off because the model bottom is removable the side cant be glued in place as one piece so i had to make the side backin piece and cut a line across it to split it into 2,which i will once again use my tiny magnets to seal it together,here is the main part with the magnets in it.
next i started to make the details and i was workin in the same town as a maplins electrical shop so i bought an
multi function switch
so i cut out the hole where i wanted it,by plan was to hide the switch behind some detail and i think i found the ideal place.
here you can see the switch in place with some of the detail goin in around it.
and you get the idea about hidin the switch...well the last image is of all the detail i've got done up to date now..
well that's it for this one..hope ya like the progress..cheers for lookin...peza

eh up all.
well i've nearly got another quarter side detail finished.i started off the same way as before with some
1mm thick styrene,i chose the black styrene because to me it bends alot easier.
next the same as the first side detail i had to split the side backin piece into 2 pieces usin my magnets,
i've mounted the bottom magnets but just drilled out the holes for the top section
here you can see that i've got alittle fit issue marked with my pencil,which i'll address at a later date.
next i started knockin out some of the detail on the side,same as always usin odds and sods i can find
and various thicknesses of styrene.
and finally here is where im at at the mo,still got some little bits to tidy up,but ya get my drift!
well thats it for this post i hope ya like the progress...cheers peza
