Going over my ref and the wonderful info Lee provided I noticed that I'd missed something... the gap between the wing tanks on the lower wing should NOT be open !!

Both in the show and on the rendered model this area was closed....

Soooo... cutting a funky shape from sheet was fun....

Getting it to the right shape and fit was not fun... but finally it came out right..

Thinking I was home free I was all set to start plating the VEN... but being more careful I started looking closer before I jumped in... and well I did... we have issues ! The drawings and rendered model are at odds with what was on the screen.... in chats with Lee he said the model itself was well detailed, but the computers were so low res that what we saw on the screen lost so much of the detail it was like a different ship.

 

Case in point.. the render, the drawings and the Revell model (they got something right with this !!) show these grooves in the VEN..

But on screen the grooves are missing as in the upper right quadrant of the above pic.

As seen in the show...

Indeed... in this shot it looks like mounting support flanges much like those of the ion vein supports..

So... after thinking it over I decided to go with what was seen on screen...

I'm thinking I'm happy with it.... now that I've figured out all the problems, hopefully the next 3 engines will go smoother and faster.
