During the handling process little details were knocked off. Now I had to replace the little parts

Details have been replaced. Busy day so not much done today.

 Today I took the masters for the main ship to a friend to make moulds and do some castings. Apparently the complexity of the body would greatly reduce the number of castings that can be performed. Most of the other parts are not too bad but two areas that could be a problem is the engines turkey feathers and the very rear of the engine. The tightness of the bells together caused pinching areas that will be a problem.

I will be making the moulds of the shuttle, solar panels and the front arrays. I was hoping to make the shuttle moulds in one piece but now due to the complexity it looks like I will need 2 parts. I hope I still have enough some rtv rubber to make these moulds. I will however need some casting resin.
