Let's start off with a mistake. You see that new piece--the pole with a knob on the end in the middle of the photo below? Yeah? Now, you see the hole just up and to the left of it? Guess where that part was supposed to go.
Uh-huh.
So, basically, these two shots are what not to do with these parts. And they're too delicate an fiddly to really worry about doing over, so they shall say as a testament to my goofing up. Oh well.
Anyway, moving on, here go another couple dozen fiddly bits. Off we go...
Here's the bits that should have gone where I glued those first bits. I just swapped places--they don't really work, but what the heck.
These next two pairs are close enough I just shot them together:
Now, there's 4 of these, and they all go along the aft where the fins will be going. Just do this 4 times:
Now, glue together the 4 fins just like we did for the bottom of the ship:
And plant them in place, shown here:
Okay. Now, you may or may not be doing the landing gear thing. I am going to leave the gear off for now, but here's a walkthrough of one of the gear assemblies so you can see what's what.
Now at this point there's two tiny hydraulics that get glued to the "pie-plate" and then get glued on the other side to the landing foot. I was honestly sick of doing fiddly little pieces like that, and since this is a demonstration piece anyway, I just left them off. Here you go.
Anyway, we're getting closer. Won't be long now.
