Ok, Jedi and Sith, quiet please. I have to focus today
I thought I tackle the cockpit next so I have the interior covered before I go on with the hull. And this already brought me to my limits. Are some parts small here!
These are the prepared parts ...
... and the seat!
I think that's some areas in the sub 1mm region!
The assembly worked surprisingly. I started to use toothpicks to deliver the glue. All my previous methods were too coarse.
After this step I realized that I glued the inner side things on the wrong way. The texture details will now be hidden under the front part. When I glued it on, I thought they should be in front of the pilot in his vision. But no big deal, I will draw some details manually later in the vacant areas
I am very happy with how the seat turned out. That was very small detail work for me. I have new appreciation of all those builders showing assembly steps next to small coins!!!
Also I was hoping this will be the warm up to another build with the added extra detail, but I am not sure now. Have to see how the rest goes and if I get better at this micro detail scale.
But the result is impressive! Here's the final assembly of the cockpit finished.
I better make sure when I put the nose structure together that this cockpit will fit in there!
To be continued ...
