Traveller: Thanks and hope things turn out well. Male pattern baldness runs in my family but at least we're generally pretty healthy. ![Stick out tongue](/emoticons/emotion-4.gif)
Herr Field Marshal: Thanks! And go easy on Vance. I think he said he was not only building his out of wood but cutting down a tree as well. ![Wink](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
Yes, yes I am. Actually I planted a tree specifically for this project, gotta let it grow some more. Hey, is Traveller complaining that it's too hot to model today?? With the windchill it -24 celsius up here right now buddy!!!
OK, work on the engine pods from this weekend. Uhhh, I rolled my own... (note the big splotch where there are no gridlines - that's where the Tamiya cement landed last week. Still stinks!)

both rolled up nice & tight. Still not super-smooth, but there will be putty & sandpaper involved anyway. Second layer added to help with the bulge...

Now I'm layering on the putty. Once I let it dry & add more, etc, get closer to a final shape I can sand & add the inlet/outlet cones.
