I started working on the head. While doing such, my daughter's cat (Barry) decided to hop up on the table to see what I am doing (and to make certain that I am doing it right

So here are the first photos of the build of the head. Starting with the base components.
The base form of the head is coming together and taking shape.
Adding more detail to the head and more components.

Continuing with the head components.
Here are the last of the head components.
I cheated and used paper Q-Tip sticks for this.
The head is finished.

Here is the shield!
The shield is attached!
The model is finished.
Like I said in an earlier post, I will be building the maintenance bay to display this. I will post that build as well.

And I was about to say, that's the most realistic paper cat I have ever seen..!I started working on the head. While doing such, my daughter's cat (Barry) decided to hop up on the table to see what I am doing (and to make certain that I am doing it right
Great progress, pal! thumbsup
I am now working on the maintenance bay.
Here are the parts sheets (23 pages in all).
Here is the ramp. I wish that the designer made this one solid piece with internal formers. I (personally) think that it would look better and and be a stronger component.

The ramp is finished.
Here are the components for the main floor. Again, I wish that the designer made this as a single component with internal formers.
The floor plates are attached to the ramp.
I am going to re print the floor and just piece the floor together to make it look seamless then put it in place.

This model is awesome!! The time involved is self evident. This deserves a display case, as it will be a dust magnet. Really excellent attention to detail.
I decided to add another layer for the floor. Unfortunately, it too warped.
I am thinking of completely rebuilding it and adding the internal formers that are needed to stop the warping.
Here are the photos.
