Worked on the engine tilt thingy boxes. Got them looking good and glued up and installed them on the model with the turkey feathers held on with a some blue tack stuff. It doesn't look much different from the Oct 2 picture but a lot f work has been done on it.

Incredibly this is about 6 hours of work. I would normally be at a hobby show but things did not work out this year. Maybe next year. Well so instead a bunch of friends went to a local hobby store and we set up in the back room and built. It was loads of fun and I did a lot on the model. The unfortunate thing is it just took me back to where I seemed to be before. However I am more satisfied that the ship is closer to what it is supposed to look like. I hear that for the movie they built a 1:8 scale model for the crash scene. Imagine working for the crew that built that and had access to the accurate blueprints.
