shuttle TYDIRIUM

[Chuffy70]

Good set of legs there, always appreciate a nice set!

I've nearly given up watching television in the evening now, such is my re-found passion to model make, just glad you are getting yours in too 'little at a time'

Very nice. The attention to detail really makes for a super sharp clean model.

i have done a little bit . need to get pics uploaded. days are still in a fog of late.

sorry for not keeping updated. so i had a little booboo on 1 part ( thank god ). the pivot parts for the wings. the directions aren't very clear on how to glue togther. so i glued the strip to the "inside" of the joint. wrong...too thick, so the next one i glued strip to the outside edges.. now it fits in the slots..

instead of using the rolled paper , i had some wooden dowels ( for roasting marshmallows ) that were the right size. cut to length and a prefect fit.

put the skins on the landing legs and attached them to the outer skin


thats as far as i got . next will be attaching the skin to the main body frame. and making sure the pivots work good..

Smart move on the wooden dowels. PVC or Wood, both work great,, and make the model stronger.

This looks incredible. I printed this model out 10+ years ago and I’ve yet to get back into this hobby.
