Built and installed each of the Blast Shields over the front platforms and added a few photo etched railings.
I have a lot of extra railing for around the edge of the top deck but they won't be added until the very end of the build.

Looks good! The railings really help make the look.

However, the railings seem to be oversized to me and should be approx. 7 mm high at 1:144, as one can also see in David Maier's Paper Kit.

Looks great so far. That kit looks like a lot of work!
I have Alphonso's MLP and crawler printed, but... life and stuff.

I'll be watching your progress, keep it up!

Built the 6 Pedestals, Blast Deflectors and am now working on the 2 Tail Service Masts.
One has been built and dry fitted and I'll start on the 2nd one soon.
It's actually a lot more intricate than it looks ....

Pretty much done now with my Space Shuttle MLP .... apart from some minor tidying up.
I thought I'd also have a bit of fun and create a diorama I'm calling "Preparing the pad...".
A name for the Orbiter is also to be decided on, but we can't rush these things .....

Just "venting" some ideas while I'm waiting on the "Challenger" livery from the US.......

I want to do something a bit different from a full on launch so I thought about the venting coolant, etc. you always see before a launch.

This is my Non-OH&S diorama cause' I don't think it'd be too safe for the ground crews on the platform at the moment ..............
