MF72 245
I spent most of today unpacking and fitting the IKEA order for my new digs, so I only managed a couple of hours on the Falcon. But hey! Workshop is looking snazzy eh? Certainly beats my subterranean bedroom.
Anyhow, I decided to make these Sealab parts individually as I haven't got the patience to mould and cast sets seeing as how easy they are to make. The one thing I'm really struggling to come to terms with is the issue of scalability....despite operating on the finest level I've yet worked at, everything still seems to chunky, too thick....It's an understandable byproduct of imitating a model which is over 5" long into a model just over a quarter the size, but it's still bugging me.
A years' difference eh?
This particular mistake surprisingly doesn't annoy me, but confuses me instead. As you can see here on the portside the 8-rad 'aileron base' is excellently aligned with the wheel component, the starboard side is totally skew-whiff. I've measured up everything and I still can't figure out where I went wrong...it's a pity that I've become more lackadaisical (even sloppy) with my work in comparison to earlier work on this build. I'll be kicking myself for it later no doubt
