SERENITY - Nov 8 2005
More carving and sanding
The leading and trailing edges of the wings are in fact straight. I had originally thought they were curved like an airplanes. Now I am fixing it

A trip to the bend grinder and we are more then half way there
Front
Puttying to get the pretty pretty finish
Grr argh. I noticed this problem before but it is only now with more images am I going to admit to myself that there is another error in the model. No-one who doesn't have a blueprint of the ship will notice but I will know. And that rivet counter would walk up to my model and point out the error. A rivet counter is someone who is an expert on everything but never builds anything. They goal in life it to criticize and knock everyone else down to make them look better
Now rivet counters I can handle if they don't know what they are talking about. However I will not give them an obvious error to rip into.
So what does this mean? Sigh...It means I will have to modify the wing mounts to move them forward as they are too far back by around 1/4 inch.
