Issue 24

Well, now we've got plenty of bits and pieces from the last several issues, and it's time to put together more of the skeleton.

First, gather everything together:

Now, taking the existing bottom framework we have, we add the following pieces in order (some photos missing, sorry):

Here's the end result of the new section:

Seriously, this thing is starting to get big.

Also, we get another large body panel. It gets one of the pieces from the "open panel" we did a few issues ago. I went ahead and left it with the greasy metal paint job for now, because why not? :)

So yeah. That's it for this month. I'm looking at at least a week and a half before I can reasonably expect the next shipment, so in the meantime I'm having a little fun adding detail in the hold. Nothing like a good kit-bash to get things interesting. I'll show some results later.
