A memorial to my mum (A BRTC25 Thunder Fighter in BSG livery).

Now that my (initial beta test build) of the Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers Hover Vehicle is complete, I am now, turning my focus back to this project, once again. (*NOTE* I had these photos sitting on the "back burner", whilst I was working on the Hover Vehicle).

Working on the floor of the Launch bay. I adhered the floor panels to foam core board.

I trimmed the sides, and adhered the floor to very thick corrugated cardboard (for strength and stability).

These are the parts for the floor device.

I am now working on the walls.

I started with "WALL-1" (the wall connecting the launch bay to the launch tube).
I laminated the parts to foam-core board (for added strength and rigidity).

Greetings Ladies and gentlemen! It is time again for another update. This is "WALL-2" (this is the "back wall" with the lift, connects to the other bays).

I laminated the both parts on foam-core board.
20230701_203910.jpg

Here are both parts laid out, to show that they are laminated to foam-core board.
20230701_220133.jpg

Both sides are sandwiched together, to form a solid piece.

Here are two of the conduits.

Both sets of conduits are attached in place, to the back side of the wall.

Moving on to the lift assembly. The is the backplate/guide for the lift. The parts are laminated on foam-core board.
