Launchpad - First day

This is the result of the first day on the subject, immediately after receiving it in September. Indeed, I did not resist and I had immediately started work on parts of the main building :
- Fast filling of the bubbles: the filler is wiped with acetone after 2 hours of drying. It will be very big, so it is not worth too much polish on the details finish as it will not be viewable.
- Other bubbles, which damaged the details, are filled with plastic strip, voluntarily taken in a different size than the original part to recap: rather than trying to redo the missing details, I divert the attention with a different detail.
- Some casting flaws are masked with the plastic card
- the main building is quickly built, with the help of PVC L strip (spare parts from a PVC windows frame installation in my house).
A wood reinforcement is added to the base of the building. It will certainly need a second one (I'll see that later). The joints are not yet filled, either, it will wait until the building construction is far ahead.
The tab on the back side was deliberately not glued, in case I need to allow the passage of electrical lighting and power wires. Since the subject has evolved (explanation coming soon), the wires will go elsewhere.
