A Model Build To End the Summer

:popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

I have never even seen Star Wars (Y'all keep your judgy-ness to yourselves...) but I am still in awe!

Spent another 7 hours on the build today. Made a bunch of trim pieces as well as the laser cannon mounts. Glued in the engines and the cannons and basically all the trim to finish off the wings. There are a few more pieces to add and those would be the mounting brackets and I laid out the holes and cut marks on all 8 of those and cut them. I still have to sand them and install them but that will be a job for tomorrow.

Spent another 7 hours on the build today. I got the wing mounting brackets finished and mounted on the wings. I also finished up the last of the wing trim pieces and dry fit the wings in place. I had to turn the wing retaining pins and make the axles that hold the assemblies into the wing housing. I also made the filler pieces which go in place when the wings are in their open position. I then glued the wings in place and glued the wing assembly onto the nose of the ship. It's nice to have it together now instead of in pieces. I then turned my attention to the lasers. I had to cut all the pieces and turn some on the lathe and then glue them all together. I finished off the day with a dry fit of the lasers. These will not be glued in place until pretty much the end as there is too much man-handling of the model while working on it and they will most likely get broken.

Had a few hours to kill so I decided that I would work on the model. I got the landing gear made for the ship but that was about all. Time consuming little pieces those landing gears. LOL.

Well the model got finished today with the final pieces of the droid and the canopy for the cockpit. The canopy was a huge pain to make but I'm happy with the results. The laser cannons got glued into place as well and after 80 hours, we can call this one finished. Thanks for tagging along with the build. I hope you liked it.
