Now to start the nose which has a slight overhang. Not many pics of this area/ Train Job was the best source I found

I had to cut a slight indent for the sheet styrene to sit in and be as flush as possible

Lines are marked all over the place as I check and triple check to make sure things are symmetrical.

Every so often I google "Model Firefly Serenity" to see if anyone else is out there that is working on a model. To hopefully share ideas. My efforts have been fruitless. However today my web page is second on the list. How that happened so fast is amazing considering last week I was nowhere to be seen in a search. I wonder how many people read my blog?
