Okay, I got busy and went back to the original track. I am still quite interested in this foam idea, but I am going to let the Major try that on for size as soon as I have the skin panels ready with the panel lines. Which as you will see are getting closer. Traditional formers VS. Eggcrate formers. These eggcrate formers really do a good job of making the shape.
Now this is going to be skinned so it is a White model being used for layout of lines and proof of shape. The glue you see is thin super glue. The skins were rolled and glued with any form work. A paper funnel if you will. I use a pair of pinking shears and cut 20# paper into strips this give's me the flaps I need for the butt joints on the skins when I glue them up. A technique that I use for lots of models.
