End Bulkhead and Details

A little more progress to show today.



I worked on the end bulkhead on the docking bay side, cutting the main part from 1mm thick styrene, the detail bart was cut from the center and the part was backed with 2mm styrene for added strength. The center detail part was cut from 0.5mm styrene to give a pleasing variance in depth to the feature. The mounting hole in the end of the part was drilled out carefully with a quarter inch drill bit.





I then added the docking bay into its cut out and secured it with Tamiya extra thin cement, additional scraps of 2mm plastic were added around it to give additional strength.




Next up I cut out the next main bulkhead from 1mm styrene.


Thats all for this update, back again soon with more.
