Once the putty is dry I sand
And sand here too
Sanding
then covered with sheet styrene
And the other side
Side by side the new and improved parts
And one of the detail pieces is sanded to size
So it is getting very close to the end. A few more things and I can have the body looked at for quotes for casting. While that is being done I can work on the shuttle and a base.
There are loads of recessed vents and stuff. Making a mould may be next to impossible since some of the recessed areas are fairly deep. Casting would also be a nightmare since there are so many places air bubbles can be trapped. Pressure casting may help and I sure hope that is the solution.
Then there is the question if a kit is viable. Let's see what the casting guy says. That will determine a lot.
