The seat looks great!
And a scratch built speeder bike challenge? That's insane!

Indeed. And the inmates of the madhouse are loose on this one. That’s for sure! More madness:

Most impressive work Bruce! You are able to bring about a realism in your models that I cannot. Stunning work.
Looking forward to your take on the speeder bike contest.

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.

Duke! Duke! Duke!
You are too kind, amigo. But I’ll take it. Here’s the prop; what you are seeing behind it is the plastic tape I used to mask the black. In short: I love AS-12. (before polishing and UV Gloss Clear)

Looks great Bruce! Would like to see what design you come up with for the speeder bike.
March as one, Don't look back

Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Clint,
Thank you so much for following and posting replies, sincerely. I’ll be sure to post my designs here under the Sci-Fi builds. For sure. I don’t want to drop this project just yet, so I’m going to give things a few days for the motorcycle rider figure from Tamiya to get to me. Let’s hope despite the pandemic Tamiya fires this out to me right quick. Regardless:
I sprayed the GBZ interior Tamiya USAF Neutral Gray, then I trapped the cockpit so far within the two halves and taped the halves together. You can see just how wide the rear bulkhead gap is where I have drawn a yellow line.

Gee wiz, that gap has me scratching my head! How would one go about filling something like that?

X,
I’m not sure either. I’m going to try heating both halves with hot water then pressing them together over the bulkhead to form the plastic around the piece, rather than fill around the piece itself. I have also not ruled out adding a big blob of Milliput putty behind the bulkhead once the halves are glued together. This will resolve two issues by filling the area around the bulkhead and adding tail weight.
