Scotty Thanks Much
Happy New Year! I have had a SUPER productive day:
Went to Lowes and Best Buy, IHOP and Starbucks
Scratchbuilt 1/700 director radar for USS Trathen 40MM Bofors gun mounts x2
Scratchuilt 1:1 wood reciever block and upper grip assembly (wood ) for Return of the Jedi Scout Trooper blaster pistol. Had to stop for the gorilla glue to dry :-)
Cranked out most of the primary assembly on one of the Knighthawks, and finished up some parts on the other. One will be OOB, the other will recieve as much detail as I can get in there in the next two weeks. The most difficult part so far has been the two-part HIRRS units but now that I have one under my belt I have a MUCH better understanding of how to crank out the other one in short order. Basically, lay one upper half on and work on the lower half, don't try to get them done ahead of time as a subassembly, it just doesnt work right.
I will post up some pics probably tomorrow to show what it looks like so far.
