Issue 63

So first thing is yet another spine. You know the drill.

It goes right on the end where you would expect.

Now the outermost piece is attached.

Now the inner piece.

Next up, one of the inset parts in the body. We start with these two main pieces and a tree of glue-on parts. Go ahead and paint them up now if you're going to.

Glue the panel into the inset frame, of course.

Give 'er a bit of weathering :)

And start putting in the parts. Here's parts 1 and 2. Note that 1 (the pipe) doesn't quite fit in like the manual shows. Bit of a bummer, but there you are.

Parts 3 and 4 go in as shown below. Please note: see the rectangle with two holes on the left? It looks like that's where the pipes go, but they don't. I wasted several frustrating minutes trying to make it happen before I paid more attention to the guide photos.

Here's the last pipe in. Try to keep them level so they even look good from the side.

Here's a side view to give you the idea.

That's it. Looks like more frame work next time. See you then!
