This is picking up where I left off on the build a few months ago. The first part of the build diary is available on my site if you're interested in seeing that. http://www.hanshortes.com/dbhsmodeler
Right now I'm picking up where I left off with the armature construction and getting the wiring started for the lights and power connections.
Also, FYI, this is a kit. It's listed as sold out here but you can contact Mike and find out if he'll cast one up for you. http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=18063
Engines attached to the rear body.
The tray under the cockpit area is glued in. I added a couple of holes to run the wires through from the rear. I'm going to make the cockpit lid and the "cube" part removable and do all the electrical connections underneath so they are accessible.
Ok, so, I admit I'm more than a little paranoid about things coming loose inside the model once it's sealed up. I drilled holes through all the joints it the armature and wire-tied them so they can't ever move. The pipe armature is wire-tied and epoxied to the resin frame. The taped on part is the bottom mounting block. I taped it on the armature so I don't forget about it when the armature gets glued into the body.
Lastly, working on the brass plugs for the power connections. Trying to stay true to the studio model will a little inspiration from Wombat. Thanks !!
