Thanks MIjob! :)

Awesome work! Really like the engine and the seat. Those compound curves can sure be tough. Again it's looking pretty good!:) Sky Seeker

Damn! Great start! :) Looking at the cycle I see where Tron got its inspiration.

Wow!!:surprise::surprise::surprise: Amazing simply amazing!!:BRAVO::BRAVO::BRAVO:

OK here we go with the repair.. Starting with the skirt portion. Glue from the seam and get it positioned. Then work your way around. Glue in increments and continue to work your way around. Done. If any edges over lap glue and lightly press otherwise the paper will crease the wrong way...

Yep that's what I said. However, all is not lost...:)

After about a week (my time) thinking about a way to overcome the above, a solution hit me... I cut into the model until the upper portion was able to move. Then moved the model until it was vertical then glued everything in place What happened was that when the model was re-positioned to a...

The gap in the picture at the top of the model is actually so small you can't see with the naked eye, but the gluing and coloring technique still holds true. It's still amazing to me when you take a picture how the picture can really get blown up to see all the issues that can't be seen...

It's a work in progress... , but thanks MIJOB.:)

Joining main body to lower nacelle section Lower section with nacelles Attach top section that has the fins to the lower nacelle section. Glue a couple of tabs first then work your way around the periphery in sections. Glue, wait, glue and repeat until you get the entire periphery. While...
