again, other pics: second engine section glued together; pic n°5: result.
from pic n°6 on - first engine details: those "half-ring" can be seen on the origina prop
here, where you can also notice those little holes, resembling screws. I decided not to include them in the model because... well, I don't like them
personally, I prefer the idea that such an advanced ship is put together with something a bit more futuristic than a bunch of screws
from pic n° 11 on - rudders, different layers: only the central one has "feet", whereas the others not. in this way I manage to obtain a important width (1.4 mm), hiding engine fissures at the same time. I used white glue in this case, and now the rudders are under a stack of heavy medicine books at least till tomorrow late afternoon
pic n° 14: engines covered
from pic n° 15 on - engine prototype: one of the first prototypes I made for this ship, compared to what I built till now (pic n° 16) and the difference is real
inner engine structure is the secret, which gives the engine a regular circular rim and proper width, with a "telescopic" mechanism (hope I made you understand what I mean)
