I've started a build of AXM's 1/144 scale Space Shuttle Atlantis... specifically as she was flown for the STS-34 mission which launched the Galileo Jupiter Probe.
As there is no payload available (and since my long term desire is to build the complete shuttle stack and transporter) I'll be building the payload bay closed configuration and using the modified Orbiter belly files (showing the "weathered" tiles instead of the clean tiles on the maiden flight files).
After a few days of cutting the parts out I'm ready to set aside the pile of clippings and begin coloring the edges of the parts as appropriate. I like to use markers for coloring the edges. I'm using 67 lb (148 g/m2) card stock.
Wish me luck! :thumb:
