That is a nice addition! It looks great! Sky Seeker

Nice touch!

Glad I could give you some inspiration. Guess it's time for a little perspiration...;)

Thanks Rhaven!

I get detailed with how things are done so that if others want to do this they can. When making the complex you just do a whole lot of simple steps. One builds on the other. There's still more detailing that needs to be done. Here's the laundry list: Horizontal and vertical rudders for...

Here's the finished product done last night. For anybody that wants the new template for the propellers here it is to proper scale: Here's another link for the Sotheby's auction with more pics of the car...

Thanks appreciate it. :) I feel like the more research that is done on this project the more that the movie "magic" is being ruined, but then again I'm getting a greater appreciation for the art they have created along the way. Thanks for stopping on by.

This is going to be great! Love the detail so far!:)

Thanks Rhaven and MiJob!:) There's still more to do such as the front launchers, rear thrusters, and some other minor details here and there.

Test fit - horizontal control surfaces. Just wanted to make sure that the cut outs in the side of the vehicle had enough clearance for the horizontal control surfaces. Both horizontal control surfaces positioned and glued in place. Top view When test fitting the bottom plate - there was a...
