Back From the Void

Well I'm back and ready to fill you in on how much I haven't accomplished over the holidays.  Don't lose heart though here is what is going on. 

I have been using cardboard backing from comic book shipments at my local comic ship to use as templates to get the shapes I need to cut plastic and eliminate waste as it the plastic sheet is not cheap.

You can see the rare earth magnet added to hold the nose on and the recessed area on the "spine" of the fuselage I am going to have to solve.  I will over size the peices of plasticard I cut to allow for error rather than cut to small and waste plastic.

Vampire Raider Scratchbuild / Kitbash continued...
There is the rough sub assemblies joined,  Now for more structural ribbing to be added to give a firm footing for all those plastic pannels that will make up the skin of the Vampire.

I have actually progressed further and will share photos tomorrow.
