Hi,
Here is the progress so far
The roadwheels need a lot of trimming .
There is a lot of clean up work on each road wheel.Along with seamlines ,so much fun
This is a first for me working with these instructions .They seem quite easy to work with but you can overlook some parts quite easily .
The royal model etch only has room for 1 round hence I went back to the kit parts to use an accurate rack.
The work will mainly be in the fighting compartment and it really soaks up the build time .
Aaand all the other projects are now on the back burner for the moment so I can get this beast a little closer to finishing.
More progress on the crew placement and layout .
The tristar figures are perfect for this SPW .
I've also substituted and converted with warrior and hornet heads.
]
I finally decided on using this hornet head with resin headphones which I will attach after I finnish painting the figure .
Cheers
Michael
