For the second one, I tried a different method. Roll the cylinder first, then glue on the Grebles. I shaped the large pieces with foam and roller, they matched the curvature of the cylinder, and were glued on along with all of the other grebles. Keep building and having fun...

Finish of this stage. Rolling on foam to get a rounded cylinder, first picture, and then using the hole in the one end concept, to put the circles/ends of the cylinders on. You glue in the end with the hole, let dry a bit, then you put in the other end, a little too far, add glue, make sure it...

Next section, first picture shows tools and result of using the tracing stylus ball to emboss the lines. Second shows un-embossed section. Components ready for assembly. Think I will punch a hole in one of the circles, to allow me to push the other circle to the end of the cylinder...

Shaping the rivet strips with pencil and foam. Gluing strips, a little at a time. Final assembly completed. Now on to the next engine section. Scott ;-)

Hi, some more work getting done, slowly.... ;-) Thanks for comment! Assembling the next section of the engine from the rear. I chose to add a little dimension by printing another copy of the sheet and cutting out the 'rivet strips' and adding them on to this section. Had to glue two circles...

Gluing up the engine nozzles, one flap at a time, used 2 clamping tweezers to hold while I folded and glued the other one. Completed nozzles. Thanks for the replies, will use the full link, copy and paste in the future. Scott Keep on Building.

Any thoughts on inter-forum links? Best way, most durable, shorter? Scott ;-)

Engine Build continued, must remember to label parts! The confusion of which is which will drive me nuts! So with lamp in front of me, I label the engine parts. Now, for the nozzeles - cutting, scribing, and coloring edges and the back side in black using Prismal Color pen in black...

Next, Engines. Engine mounts first, need to be folded and then glue to double thickness. Then we cut out the parts. That's all for now. Keep building! Scott

Finalizing the cockpit with greebles and armor plates. All sub assemblies ready to go together. A new technique for me, see in other posts on this forum [https://www.zealotmodels.com/threads/this-idea-has-some-serious-holes-in-it.181766/], using the circles from a hole punch...

Thanks for the responses, now on to the model. Prepping and gluing the shroud between that sits between the engines. Cockpit work beginning, folding, coloring the white flaps, gluing the front sides to the roof. Glue the back side to the roof, and looking at the fit with the...

Thanks for the input! Dug around in the garage, picked a few up and here is the result. The tub- blue insides, is usually where the seats and other things go, but since this model has the windows colored, I thought the tub would be a good place to put the 'weights'. it goes in the nose...

Thanks for all of your responses. Not going to worry about the pics, just will use thumbnails and we can click on them to see full resolution. Question, I know this model will need weight in the nose, to sit correctly when I am done. What do you guys use for weight? Glue? Metal washers or...

Hello, been a while! Cancer treatments take the stuffing out of you.... Anyhow, starting this back up, slowly. Detailing the piece between the engines, that goes on the top. Notice the edges, using a brownish 2 ended marker to just touch the edges. Best to work from behind the piece before...

I like the 'family' photos! Nice work and nice pictures. Dr Tetrode

Thank you, zathros, for your comment. That is what happened last build, so I am trying another method. Here we go. Lamination to 110 lb cardstock, using UHU glue. Belly and Door piece. New technique for me. Break up the sides, top etc. and glue on another copy of the same pieces, leaving...

No clarification in the instructions, thus the question. Thanks for responding. Trying a different technique for laminations, when it dries, will let you know if it is working. Another question, for the laminations, do the pieces in the back have to be sprayed with the matte finish, or is it...

Hi, I am going to build, the Valkryie again, this time with a new set of plans, from 2010, and colored. I printed them out on 110lb cardstock, sprayed with matte clear spray, both sides, and then got them on the desk to work on them. Begin with the cover and first page. Now, a question...

Well, patience has run out. This figure is too small for me. I will put it away in an Altoids tin and move on. May come back to it some day. Thanks for reading, and I hope some of this helps others. Scott

Thank you, I will try that, limbs first, torso, and then attach all to torso. Scott
