Late one last night, making the details for the engine access panels and mounting the cannons.
For the engine, I turned a bit of scrap wood on the lathe, then cut it in half for a mirror image on each side. I used bits of coathangar wire and electrical wire to make the fuel lines, then turned the little upside down filter out of a bit of dowel and glued it all up.
Nose panel for avionics next.
1am... off to bed.

Last night's work. 2am to bed.
Bits of random wood, tie wire, electrical wire, strips of aluminium sheet, toothpicks and chopped up cable ties - whatever is laying around to get the job done. Superglue made life a little easier too.

Top engine details. Started with some old dowel and turned it to size.

Nice! How much longer do you have to go before it's finished?

Well now, the build is finished! I have a compressor on the way to use with my new Iwata Eclipse airbrush, and the decals are also in the works. I will put them on and weather it using the airbrush, but all the building is DONE!

Looks great! Now, I need to invest in an airbrush system!

I ordered some custom decals to be made by Tango papa Decals in the US. They arrived this week and I couldn’t wait to apply them. All applied now, just some weathering with the airbrush to finish it off.

I got bored and installed lighting in the three footer's engines.
The three-footer is a scaled down version, using the same build formers and methods. I used scrap wood and putty from around the workshop, bits of wire, coathangers, cable ties and whatever else suited the job. I only hope the life sized one turns out as good or better. You can see parts of it in the background.

New video on the three footer. Enjoy!
What a fantastic build. Sometimes, the hardest thing for me to remember is to take lots of pictures along the way. Once I get going, I fly through parts of a build and I'm left with a gap in the construction process. Thanks for sharing the video.
