As soon as I get my camera back, I will post the last pics of the lightning. I will then make a few more adjustments and a special display stand.

Canopy
This build is almost done. I have three techniques for framing the canopy.
1. I build the acetate canopy, then I cut strips from a sticky label and build up the frame.
2. I draw the frame on the sticky label and trim out the frame, then I place it over the clear acetate
3. Same as above but I trim the frame after it has been attached to the clear acetate. This method is good but leaves a sticky residue that has to be cleaned off if you want a clear canopy without smudges.
With this method, I edge the inside of the canopy with a strip of sticky label and then I can glue it to the cockpit without using superglue and incur the wrath of cloudy canopy.

The end
This is just about the end. There are a few more details that I will do to embellish this flyer, but I believe that I will continue the rest on the Sci-Fi side of the house. That Thunderbolt is next, I believe that I have enough background info to build it. Enjoy the pics

Lightning on the pad
The lightning needs a few more small details but for all practical purposes, it is finished.
I constructed the landing pad and posted the build in the Sci-Fi section of this forum. Here is the lightning on the pad and a portion of my figures.
The last one is a sheet of emblems.

Thank you Vortex, I hope that you enjoyed the build. I am still considering that Thunderbolt but I also have plans for my version of a Chimera.
That sir, is a medical style surgical knife with a #11 surgical blade. It is beacoup sharper than an X-Acto knife. I have a daughter in the medical field and she aquires the knife and blades for me. You can also purchase them at micromark.com.
thank silveroxide.
I use the same blade too. they cost ~ 5$ a box of 100 in my ville.
however I don't have that nice handle, I use an old bamboo chopstick.

Interesting that you mentioned the bamboo stick handle. I experimented with it a while back, it worked and I may try it it again, But at that time, I was using X-Acto blades.
Thank you for the comment. I am pleased that you like my works. There is a series on WK-40 I am working on but it will be a while before I start.
It is a mixture of both but I did go to GW and used the resin model for many reference reference material.
Thanks guys, I have more Warhammer coming up in my new thread "Warhammer Armor and Things". I will attempt to build some of Patoroch's models and do some build threads on them, along with some of my insidious techniques. See you all there.
