Taiidan Tomcat's entries
« on: November 09, 2012, 06:14:06 AM »
I'm entering two which is probably twice as many as I should enter in a GB about finishing  ;D



My original Taiidan Tomcat being refurbished. Its been the Paint job that has been slowing this one down... I need to find one I like.



Fins finally fitted!!



My sci Fi British hornet that was "killed" by a falling picture frame hung above it!!  :o





Fins removed, along with intakes and new spacey fairings added to cover them.You can barely see in the above pic too that one of the Leading edges has been cut off (more on that later)

Cut off the old spine. See that bulkhead there? I had no clue that was there so I had cut around the edges and could not figure out why it wasn't coming off!



The new spine I made! (before clean up)



Inside the spine. I reinforced it because when I am sanding I don't want it twisting and warping.



A piece of 1 inch wooden block that will serve as the intake being laminated in plastic.



and with panel lines cut in.



Lastly the lip I made from strip styrene, along with the front grate-style intake cover
