To get scale thickness I have to grind away at the inside

Some very delicate work here. Patience is needed so that hours of work is not ruined

The back side. Hard to tell how it actually looks when I pull the masking tape off. I can only tell then if it looks ok. There are 4 super tiny slots at the top. I suppose I could not include them but hey this is me you are talking about

Loads of stuff on this part but of course it is hard to see. More major grinding to inside to get the reactor section to fit

I also worked on the cross supports to thin them

Better view of the cross supports. The cross section has beem profiles to an oblong shape

Oh and more fine puttying to try and fix some of the indents

Again it does not look like much progress has occurred but it is moving along slowly
