Wow, what tremendous progress! Nice fix on the irregularities. This is going to be most impressive when done; watching it come together is even more fun! Keep it coming Paul!
Thanks Mark!
Aside from the warpage problems (and the one bad part that I have already received the replacement), the detail is quite close to all my reference photos. The mold quality isn't like any of the better model companies, (Revell, Tamiya, Dragon, Hasegawa, you get the drift) but it isn't all that bad. I can easily work with this where as I won't touch an Italeri kit anymore.
Thanks for looking in Jeff!
Old hand with the electronics hardware, I used to design the circuit boards from the hand drawn engineers schematic then make a hand made prototype and build it up with all the components. The hard part is learning the commands and coding which I am now doing. Found a really good set of tutorials on UTube by Paul McWhorter. He goes through each of his lessons fully step by step and fully explains what is going on with reminders of the little things like the semicolon at the ends of lines. The first biggie was everyone stating use the "int" to designate values. What McWorter said that made perfect sense was "int" was short for integer which "THEN MADE SENSE"! Like "float" is short for "floating point" or numbers with decimal points. D'Oh!
Plus he does tend to repeat and go through the process in each lesson clearly and thoroughly. Have learned a lot so far.
Here is a link to his first basic programming lesson (#3) and there are something like 34 at this point.

STill have a ways to go but have learned quite a lot already. Much more than I would have reading a book, or with another guy that was on UTube. He quickly lost me and that was no help
