Mounting Prong Part 1

I though that this part would be quick to make. however a close inspection of my plans and references show a couple of panels and an open panel at the base of this prong, the open part needing to be filled with greeblie detail. Its amazing how something small like that can slow you up.

The part was cut from 1mm styrene sheet and as this part will be folded into a 'U' type shape to fit between the first and second prongs, the fold lines were scribed onto the back. The mounting pin holes were drilled out and the open panel area cut out.

Raised panels were added with 0.5mm styrene and the open panel was backed with the same. The opening was then filled with greeblie detail using a 1:144 scale aircraft wheel and other bits of styrene shapes and rod.

This is as far as I managed to get with this part, it still needs raised detail added near the mounting holes and it of course needs to be folded to shape and secured to the main hull part. The other mounting prongs do not sport detail like this one so should be quicker to make.

More soon.
