That print out looks good!

Thank you.
It is whole... And looks to be the same size as my first one.

This mornings update is simple.
My homemade wet pallet, sourced with a food storage container from Wal-Mart, paper towel as my sponge, and parchment paper as my damp surface.

We'll see how it works.

 

[micahrogers]

I got all the pieces fold lines creased...


Piece 1 cut out and pre folded...


And edge painted and glued...

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That looks very good!!!

 

[micahrogers]

That looks very good!!!

Thanks...

Morning update,
Piece 2 cut out and preformed.


and edge painted...

So far my improvised wet pallet is doing it's job, my paints, mixes, and glue are still viable.

 

[micahrogers]

Bottom seam on the main head piece glued.


Head piece 1 and 2 glued together.


Paint color added to cover my seam mistakes...

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

That is looking really good!!!

 

[Strick67]

Looking good.
Sorry to hear about your printing frustrations. Desktop printers can be tricky, I've lost count of the paper and ink I've wasted over the years trying to get certain things to print properly.

Nice improvising on the wet palette.

Thank you both, yea I'm actually surprised how well my little sandwich keeper wet pallet is working. Day 4 for it and my paints and glue are still viable.

Todays update, Part 3 cut out and preformed.


Part 4 cut out and preformed.


Both parts edge colored.


Both parts glued.


And my Amazon purchase, a 6 pack of different size hemostats, 3 straight, and 3 curved.

A going away cook out later this afternoon, for my Daughter-in-law's STG2 friend, so probably nothing more done today.

 

[micahrogers]

Pieces 3, and 4 attached to the head.


and color added to the seam areas to even it out.

The new head is about 1/8th inch shorter in length than the Mk I head is...

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

Even though it is shorter, it still looks good! Everything appears to be lined up properly. There is a smooth transition from one part to the other.

Nice head you have don't lose it....

Thank you both.

The instructions call for the tail to be built next, then I'll be "caught up" to where I was.

 

[micahrogers]

Tail pieces 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 cut out.


all pieces edge painted, and assembly started.


Tail assembled...


and color added to blend it together.

Next will be the wings.

 

[micahrogers]

I added a piece of rolled up typing paper, 20#, to add some structure to the inside of the tail.

 

[micahrogers]

A side by side comparison,
Mk I head on top, and Mk II head on bottom.

Mk I tail on top and Mk II tail on bottom.

I think the Mk I head looks better, but the Mk II tail looks better...

 

[micahrogers]

Started on the wings, font of right upper wing has a small joint to create the leading edge.


RU wing front and back sections edge painted,

My little wet pallet is starting to dry out, so about 12 days is it's limit.

 

[Revell-Fan]

Looking good!

 

[micahrogers]

Looking good!

Thank you sir.

 

[micahrogers]

I got more work done on the right wing last night and this morning.

Right wing front and back halves joined.


Right wing root cut out and preformed.


Right wing root edge colored...


And attached to right wing.

Next working on the right wrist membrane...
