Alright folks, the revision is complete! Here are a few things that were changed: Maintenance hatches on the side engines moved up, detail on the high engine thruster moved down, added panel lines to the intakes to make decals for a Viper variant, added greeblies to the wings and undercarriage, extensive rework of the lines on the nose. To correct them I printed out the part and assembled it. Then I held it against the monitor and made additions with a marker directly on the part. Then I mesaured the difference to the old lines and updated the vector drawing accordingly. I could have cut the part apart again and scanned it for tracing but it was pretty tricky to draw the lines on such a small curved surface (no pun intended!
). Then I thought about importing a part of the side view of the filming miniature and cross-check everything. One drawback is the perspective distortion of these images. That's what almost drove me mad when I desiged the Landram.
In the end everything lined up very well. Here is a comparison between old and new:
One small change of the instructions and the Beta build may begin!
