My respect to you both! :bowdown: You have both achieved an amazing model! Well done! :CHEERS: The receivers of it will be more than stunned, I am sure!

FAB!

A hairs' breadth from reality! ;)

You are still going strong. Coming together nicely! I tend to build from the smallest part towards the largest part. In this case the finger tips towards the wrist. This way you can still have access for your tweezers as you work upwards. If you work towards the tips, you are in effect closing...

And, back.......! I just realized in my excitement to finish the model, I forgot to take any pics of the engine/landing gear shrouds, and also the clamps on the ends of the lateral spine. The shrouds require some good shaping to get them uniform. Also quite a bit of careful trimming and...

"There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story." ~ Frank Herbert Added with great excitement, this post brings an end to the construction of this model! :yesyes: A few detail parts, that were left until last to avoid breaking them off, were assembled. First, the...

"Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills." ~ Leo Tolstoy Next up, the rear deck, longitudinal spine and rescue hatch. The rear deck is pretty straightforward. The two recessed parts and the pre-laminated detail parts were cut out and edge-coloured. These parts were then glued on...

Very crisp and clean! Nice work.

"Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines." ~ Enzo Ferrari With the bottom engines basically complete, I started on the top engines. The top engines are a little more complex and the build procedure is different. One thing to note here, when cutting out the floor of the engine, the...

I'm not sure my eyesight would allow me to build something that small anymore. Respect!
