Coke is it. So I looked at the can and thought that it would be a great source for thin material. Thinner and more in scale then the 0.010 Styrene material I was going to use. It is also basically free after I have drunk the Coke inside

A chunk cut out and sanded on both sides to take off the paint.

Finally done.

 This is getting fun again. Maybe because it feels like the home stretch. I know it isn't but the stuff I am adding now is the fine details. This is when the model will look more and more like it does on screen. Also if I finish a section I can say to myself that that section is finished and I do not have to visit it again. (I hope)
