SERENTY - Nov 10 2005
Before the carving and adding the new mounting point
The new mounting point and carving of the front area to get the wing to fit
Both wings now in the right place
And the underside view
Section I have to cut out
The other side
Rear section that needs to be filled in
Another view
Putty added. The trick was to put the putty in and not try and trap the wing in there. I am still undecided if I want to glue the wing to the body or to make those parts separate
The front.
The rear
Wing removed
More filing and sanding
Now to the other side to do the same thing
I have been following the paper models and they seem to be moving along nicely. A lot faster then my effort. I also noticed that I have been working on this for more then 100 days. One of those milestone things.
Now while working on the model I do sort of understand how some people produce garbage products. These things sure take a long time to get right. Looking at the mating points of the wings I noticed that the inside area and the end of the wings look like garbage. Of course it is not seen when everything is together but opened up it looks terrible. Easy for someone else to ask why I didn't spend some time there and clean it up.
