[Rhaven Blaack]

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement.

I see Systems Integration went well! The Viper is coming together very quickly and very well!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Now time for another update!

Here are the parts for the engine mount!


I too the end pieces off and took another end piece (which will be used as a center support) and laminated them to (roughly) 2mm.


The end and center pieces are in place.


The skin is closed up.


I took the front plate and laminated it to (roughly) 2mm thick.


This piece is assembled.


This piece and the four round knobs are attacked.


Continuing on with the greebles.


With this, I recessed the sides. Granted, you really will not see it that well. However, I thought that I would try my hand at it to see if I could actually do it.


I also raised each tube texture to show individual sections.


I raised the straps on the boxes.


The tubes and boxes are attached.


I added the rest of the greebles.

A most EXCELLENT job, @Rhaven Blaack . this is going to be FRAKKING AWESOME!!!

 

[Awry_Chaos]

Excellent detailing!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Here another (short) update.

I joined the front fuselage and the engine mount section.


Here are the main components for the underside.


The underside is complete.


No, I did not cut out the slots for the removeable landing gear. However, I will be permanently attaching them in place.

[Awry_Chaos]

Most excellent! Almost there! After the engine tests and installs she will be ready to go!

 

[micahrogers]

Very straight, and a nice clean build, with lots o added detail. Hmmmm look's like a Rhaven Blaack build. Nice work.

Too true.

Gentlemen, thank you for the kind words and encouragement.

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Time for another small update.

Here are the parts for the cockpit canopy.


I laminated the main part of the canopy to a sticky label. Then laminated that to a piece of clear plastic. I also raised the detailed pieces of the canopy brace.


The canopy and brace are attached (No, the canopy will not be functional).


The canopy and brace are put in place.
