Ello,
Sand and fill and sand and fill and sand and fill............oh, and i cut the nose off.
well not completely
Had another idea for the front wing, so you have to go with the flow, still not sure......
Sand and fill and sand and fill and sand and fill............
Wanted to add a last kicker to the cockpit rim, can you guess what its from?
Hollowed out the back so we can see the details a bit better
Added another layer of interest
Still have work to do on the underside
My old faithful voddy spout for one of the outside variable height magneto repeller nozzles
Added some blend tubes and then started to build up the top rear fairing
Fill and wait
Full 360
And thats about it,
stay tuned
take care

Evenin all,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting guys,
I managed 10 hours at the bench over the weekend (busy wife) and did quite a lot of work on the final body shape
Still trying to figure out the rear wing and the front wing, but i think i know what to do with the front
The nose itself area is still a WIP.......
Sand, fill, sand, fill...............
Started on the area behind the cockpit and the blend into the impact structure which is at the back
I had installed two rods extending from the outer cockpit walls to the center at the back, they had a nice flowing curve to them these were for suppport
I bent over the 1mm (0.039") sheet and glued it to the central profile support and the cockpit curve and the back central area
After sanding the edge flush, i did the same on the other side
After a rough whittling with me #11
After some shaping
Forced, with a heat gun, two pieces of 1mm just to fill the large gap
Then i skinned the inner contour with 0.5mm(0.020") sheet, letting it just flow into the area and covering a large slit in the front intake area
After trimming, side two.
Needs a bit of tweeking but its close
Back to the 1mm for the front panels, large overlap to be sanded back and filled later
Basic left side shaping
Just this small recess at the back to fill next
Top profile
Filled and ready for sanding, but thats next time
Stay tuned
Take care friends

It seems that lot of your "greebling" work (is it a correct term to mean super-detailling work?)... so lot of it gonna be hidden by these cards. No ?
Overall, it's Gag's art : AWESOME!!!
As says a french Canadian dance judge (JM Genereux) in a show my girls watch every week : "I buy it!!!!"

The greebling, (detailing) as we call it, will dictate where the actual panels can be installed....
In my thinking anyway...
Otherwise its just an empty sack of Shite,...
which I could easily build 8)
Looking forward to the next installment Gag
Cheers
