Many thanks guys :)

 

Last update of the year on this build...

I moved my attention to the rear pit ... not that I was dying for it but because of the way I made all my initial build with a main "central part" hosting all the subassemblies I had to work my way from one end to the other.

 

Anyway, I used the same basic process and worked out the side walls

Then I moved to the floor and had to rebuild it all as it was all glued to the main "central part"... that gave me a chance to improve the quality of the ribbing

Front and rear bulkhead were improved as well.

 

Rear one has a few more details

Front one was rebuilt as it was previously one single part with the front pit rear bulkhead... They now are 2 separate pieces

And a dry fit of the all thing

And here we are !

 

These are only the main structure parts and they now needs all the detailling work to be done but I am happy with these as they stand.

They fit pretty well into the vac kit I they will hopefully fit int the IM kit as well if required ;) :whistle:

 

Those 5 basic parts were build in about 12 hours of work which is correct I would say. Attetion to detail as to be permant and every single drop or seam of CA has to be properly cleaned off... That is a rather long process but it pays in the end I think  -_-

 

Wish you all a wonderfull 2014 !!! Talk to you next year :D

 

Cheers,

Absolutely amazing work. You attention to detail and 'engineering skills are simply off the chart! If I only had 1/10 of your ability, I surely would be a happy man.

Keep 'em coming

@waroff, that must be that damn magic potion again :)

 

OK guys, I wanted a bit of distraction from all those "big" pièces of frame ... I resumed work on the FuG 220/SN-2 radar Equipment.

 

First, my ref pic (courtesy of some very hellpfull LSPer)

I want to go for a combo of 2 different FuG equipment hence the extra screne on the left of the main board so there must be some more to come sometime ...  ;)

 

Thanks all for following !!!
