Well, hello there! ![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Belated Happy New Year, everybody!![Toast :toast: :toast:](http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/813fc2f4999944d7bf878e3417119008.gif)
A new year, a better me......![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
When I have been able, I have done a little modelling; (during the time I have been absent from here! (Sorry!))
I attempted to reduce my stash of unfinished models, that I had been working on in the background now and again.
UHU's Orion was one such project....
I pretty much built the model 'out-of-the-box'. I excluded doing the interior, as to see into the model, you would need to touch it!![Sadno :sadno: :sadno:](http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/5da11696a23947da8ee9c88581975cc1.gif)

The only modification to the model I made was to provide a means of fitting a metal rod, used to attach it to a black display base. The metal rod I used fitted nice and snug into a ink pen tube. I strengthened the wing/fuselage section with thick card, to support the stresses, and hot-glued it all in place....
