Thanks a lot. I am not doing anything you couldn't do if you tried really hard!
This build has been SO much fun. That's why i have built it so fast. It's been like a race. I want to see the final item finished!

Thanks a lot. although i am using Ma.K figures, this cannot be said to be a Ma.K craft, unfortunately. But i will be using it forever in my dioramas!!!

Next time you make your moulds think about using Legos to make your box. Also you can stick your parts to masking tape and build your Lego box around the parts sticking the box to the tape.
Thanks. I don't have any lego!
But i have a mountain of wood and MDF, and all the right woodcutting equipment. It's a breeze to work up the mould boxes in wood when you have a compound mitre saw, sanding deck and several hand drills!
Here's today's update.
Okey cokey.
Time for a reasonable update. I hope everyone reading this is as impressed with the work here as i was when i flipped the switches to turn on the lighting systems today when i was finished.
First of all a list of what i got done.
I got the upper wing support butresses finished finally. With them sanded into shape, i added the rest of the upper wing details.
I got the rest of the parts primed as i intend to show this off tomorrow to a few people i know. I decided i needed to do a full lighting test just to make sure there was room for everything, and that none of the lights needed extra cabling.
It turns out the cockpit dashboard light could do with being maybe 6cm longer. I'll get that done on wednesday at work.
But for now, everything seems to fit and, except for the undersides of the wings(Which i have yet to do), the craft is pretty much finished except for painting.
I have a few pics of the ship during the WIP stuff today, several of the lights all on, and three Youtube vids of the lights working.
I'd REALLY appreciate comments guys if you like the work.
Thanks for looking and enjoy today's update.
More soon, i promise.
And now the vids.
Enjoy!
