SERENITY - Nov 5 2005
Getting ready to do some surgery
Here we go
and more
Maybe I'll bang my head against a wall.
More lines
Intake now a mess and needs to be cleaned up
Bondo to the rescue
Put the little white styrene pieces back on
Although the right bottom most piece is slightly out
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.
The most notable is the legs and the white styrene details
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.
