This is the gathered sub assemblies at the current stage now begins the "Clean-up" of the Cockpit area (move the pilot back about 1/4") and construction of the "Neck"
The underside of the port side wing showing the application of the oversized vanes prior to "shave-down" with a dremmel
Vanes after shavedown so shapes are now true. Epoxie putty (the medium gray stuff in the notch on the wing in the upper left) will now bee added between the vanes, to not fully fill, but get a clearer shape to the vane assembly.
This gives a very rough basis on which I will continue to build. I have the ambitious goal to build a Vampire Raider that, from above, is barely distinguishable from the forgeworld kit except to the trained eye for detail who is familiar with the forgeworld kit. I am not going to build a "carbon copy," as I will change some things that I feel are more in keeping with the Eldar design esthetic.
Until next time...
looks good
