Top Gun Body
Here are some more pics of the gun body. This segment is the largest piece in the model and I've been struggling as to how to best approach the order of assembly. I decided to simply go from front to back however I think this was a mistake as I explain here.
I continued by putting together a top section of the body:
It looks OK except that the seam shows up a little too much. The problem came when I attached this to the cooler section with a few
side pieces.
The curve of this top piece doesn't completely match the curve of the top of the cooler. There is a big gap where the two parts meet and I'm not sure how I'm going to fix that without taking it off and starting over. In hindsight I think I should have built up the gun body in three segments; top, sides, and bottom and this is how I'm going to proceed going forward. For now I'm going to set this piece aside, pretend it didn't happen, and hope it fixes itself.
