I'm going to need a lot of balsa wood and cardboard to keep her firm and straight. Working now, more pics later.
Interesting thought.....bigger does not mean easier. It also shows my flaws more pronounced. Things didn't start out well today due to me gluing a hull section on backwards. Thankfully I downloaded the BL2 "alternate" part that actually looks more like the part in the directions.
A note to anyone wanting to build the RJ, without formers, I tend to collapse sections of the nose when applying pressure gluing on new hull sections. So far I have been able to pop them back in place. I'm not sure as to how it is possible to avoid this. So far, so good.

Interesting....I'm look at Hot4Darmat's incredible build and notice his is a nice battleship grey. My laser printer makes mine look almost black. But, badass black. Thanks ekuth for the effort you put into designing her.

As the British would say, "She's quite Fit, isn't she", and her placement is "Proper, and quite right"!!
In Amerriccun is, " Oh yea, baby got back,she's smokin'!!
In Connecticut, we would say. She is a beautiful women who has made questionable choices as far as marriage is concerned, but now the she's up for grabs, back off sucker".:twisted:
Those skins would make a nice add-on for the model. Maybe you could upload a .pdf. I don't think Ekuth would mind.

In Washington State they'd say, "My, what a Lovely woman!"
and in Texas we'd say, "Look at the Chasis on that girl, I bet she kicks ass!"

Dented, if you want to pm me your email I will send it to you. Minus the new skins that cover the original RY (hull) name plate, the others will have to be trimmed for your model. I put the new RY nameplate font on the wrong part. I would be happy to upload if it works with ekuth.

Oh yeah, I've heard of "Minnesota's Industrious Liberated Female's". I dated a few too.
Send Ekuth a P.M., see what he says.
Liberal in this State for sure.
I made a couple of additional changes on the bridge windows so they won't be so large. This works only on the original bridge, not the better, thinner "alternate" bridge part that I wished I had used.wall1

The recessed hatches really set if off. A lot of work in there. It's the little stuff that pays off in the end. It's really coming together!
This is a great model and a challenging pleasure to build, but if I could suggest one thing, to add markers on the bottom of the bridge sections to line up the bridge supports and wedges. I ended up gluing my supports a little to close together (wedges won't fit, need to trim). I'm finding that I am better off building all the individual pieces and go back and see how the will all fit together first before gluing. I need to make her as close to perfect as possible.
I am currently working on the lattace/tunnel (thingy) aft of the bridge...very time consuming but will look good when done.
