This is my very first attempt at a serious model. I started with a few small warm up models before I tackled this one. Took me around 50 hours and I really enjoyed making it. I used 220gsm card which on completion I now was far too heavy. If I was doing it again I would use much lighter card but at least now I have a nice strong model (which in a way I suppose is a good thing in a house with small children and delicate things that look like nice toys to play with).
I know it’s no museum piece now but I'm happy enough with the final result, despite a few gaps and a little too much white showing. I even got the landing bays to almost retract fully.
I welcome any and all comments or tips and advice. I'm still spotting improvements I could make. Does anyone have any tips on how they fill in the small white pieces showing? I was thinking of using markers but I don't want to wreck after putting in so much effort.
