It is time to finally close the box, so the whole upper part is installed, glued and screwed to the bottom part.
The back requires a bit more attention (cyano glue and putty) to prevent light leakage.

Last adjustments before painting:

  • Realization of covers of the light rods (otherwise too bright)
  • side connectors covers (tubes and tank wheels)

  • the canons of turbolaser turrets are awfull as is and are replaced by a simple brass rods

  • the turrets locations need wedge so that they are level horizontally.

Before:

After:

  • the screws are hidden behind small squares of plastic card.

  • Obviously, it was just cured when I realize I forgot fiber on a belly outgrowth ! Too bad, the holes are filled with plastic putty. Grrr!
