The final stretch as I get it ready for the Charity Serenity Screening. Hot glue the landing pads to a sheet of foam core

The first one glued on. Also a good look at the various parts of the ship

No 3. Crikey. The landing pad looks slightly bigger then the recessed area it is supposed to sit in.

Then the decals go on. So after checking and rechecking references and triple checking I find that the solar panels are slightly too far forward. Crap! This slight error means the logos are also slightly misplaced to get them on. Not a major problem but annoying to me that I got it wrong

Same with the other side. I would say the solar panel is forward by about 0.125" too much

As I said before this side view shows the two side solar panels are in the wrong position as they are too close to the front array. Again not a life or death situation but annoying none the less.

So we had the Serenity Screening today and everything went well. A super happy fun time was had by all and all for a good cause. I donated the glass etchings I had Morena and Jewel sign. Each one raised about $170cdn each. How cool is that? Early estimates are that we raised over $4500. Browncoats rule.
