Now that my (initial beta test build) of the Battlestar Galactica/Buck Rogers Hover Vehicle is complete, I am now, turning my focus back to this project, once again. (*NOTE* I had these photos sitting on the "back burner", whilst I was working on the Hover Vehicle).

Working on the floor of the Launch bay. I adhered the floor panels to foam core board.

I trimmed the sides, and adhered the floor to very thick corrugated cardboard (for strength and stability).

These are the parts for the floor device.

I am now working on the walls.

I started with "WALL-1" (the wall connecting the launch bay to the launch tube).
I laminated the parts to foam-core board (for added strength and rigidity).

I laminated the "arch" greebling to 0.5mm thick. I also cut out the characters of the "number" plate.

Greetings Ladies and gentlemen! It is time again for another update. This is "WALL-2" (this is the "back wall" with the lift, connects to the other bays).

I laminated the both parts on foam-core board.
20230701_203910.jpg

Here are both parts laid out, to show that they are laminated to foam-core board.
20230701_220133.jpg

Both sides are sandwiched together, to form a solid piece.
20230702_004826.jpg

Here are two of the conduits.

20230704_002744.jpg

Both sets of conduits are attached in place, to the back side of the wall.

Another conduit and a light is attached in place, to the back side of the wall.

Moving on to the lift assembly. The is the backplate/guide for the lift. The parts are laminated on foam-core board.

Here is the lift cabin and the lift connector. The parts are laminated to foam-core board.
