thanx man!
well, "hiccupping" as always, a bit more progress :D
in order:
- first three pics show the upper hull shield, mostly done (99%) and I have to say that like it! I think it's very good, both shape and panelling. maybe I'll add a bunch of squared/rectangular tiny panels in the end, randomly
- next three: I'm going to fill all the empty spaces in the backbone of the shields with this type of foam, very soft. it's commonly used for ikebana, flowers compositions etc; once cut and glued I cover it with white glue and let dry, in order to have a hard surface to glue the shield strongly
- next three: the "fins"
two out of three done. you can also see the bare inner structure of the third one and its uncutted cover. in the next-to-last pic there's the "problem" I had to solve building this component: gluing the ribs, the paper made creases from one rib to the other, resembling more or less a paper chain (due to paper thickness, I think), so I had to glue those toothpicks to spread the paper. I think there are other smarter ways to do it, but that was the only one I found out, so if you have alternatives, please let me know
- last one: common toilet rolls
but they work perfectly! I only need to cover them and add details heavily
hope you like!
