Thanks guys, glad you are enjoying my musings.

A few notes before I take some photos of the finished hull: Firstly, ZipDry; use it with caution. It’s adequate but not strong by any means. I’m glad I used it, don’t get me wrong, however it’s easy to break a bond if you’re not careful. With the fragility of card models in general, this shouldn’t be a problem. If you’re looking for strength without warping, keep walking, this ain’t the droid you’re looking for.

Secondly, all the measurements and test fitting I did paid off well, but I did wind up being off in a couple places. I’m going to chalk it up to natural settling and move on. I was able to correct or hide my errors under the armor belt thankfully. To be honest, I don’t know how I’d plan for this or compensate on my next model since I was so careful throughout. Being new, perhaps this is just how it breaks?
