Getting things together - I still think this looks like something out of Flash Gordon!
Once I get all of the main assemblies together I'll break out the filler... and I'll need a lot me thinks!
Cheers!

Sweet job on that Stuart! I also like your idea of reinforcing your clamps with the wooden strip. Brilliant!
I agree, I'm sure this model (at least the cockpit section) has been the inspiration for a number of Sci-Fi ships.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Looking at the edge of your bench... The Insociable Modelling. What's the backstory on that, Lyle?
