Finally got back to working on Wildfire...landing gear are completed now. Also not visible, I've completely rebuilt a major chunk of the main engine section so that the cockpit, nose, and engine fit together correctly! Many thanks to Pete for being willing to expose some of the voodoo at work in this ship, and to Oblong for lending a critical eye to the model.

Amani Okafor had always believed that history was more than just stories in textbooks—it was something built, something tangible, something meant to stand the test of time.
So when she was chosen to lead the construction of the Legacy Museum, she knew this wasn’t just another job. It was a mission.
A museum dedicated to Black history, resilience, and achievement, built by Black hands, standing in the heart of the city, where future generations could walk through and feel the past—not just read about it.
The Challenges
Building the museum wasn’t easy.
•Funding battles with corporate donors who wanted to sanitize the narrative.
•City officials stalling permits, dragging their feet when it came to approving the space.
•Unspoken resistance—whispers that “maybe this isn’t necessary,” the same way history itself had been dismissed for centuries.
But Amani and her crew weren’t here to ask permission.
They were here to build.
The Construction Crew: Women at the Helm
Amani made sure her team reflected the legacy they were preserving.
•Architects, welders, electricians, historians—all women, all from different backgrounds, all committed to making this happen.
•Every steel beam, every glass panel, every brick laid was a statement: We built this. We are still building.
She wore her safety harness like armor, standing alongside her crew, pushing forward through delays, budget cuts, and every obstacle thrown their way.
The Grand Opening: A Monument to Strength
Years of sweat, struggle, and triumph led to this moment.
As the doors to the Legacy Museum opened, the city gathered—elders who had fought for civil rights, children who would one day carry the torch, families seeing their ancestors honored in a way textbooks never did.
Amani stood at the entrance, watching as people stepped inside for the first time.
She smiled.
Because long after she was gone, this place would still stand. A testament to history. A testament to the future.

See if you can spot the differences between this version and Pete's brick-built ship. Then let me know what you think.

With the completion of the main gun, modeling is do! Lots of spots that still need tweaking but now it's time to focus on material assignments, etc.

That evil little racers mudflap took me around three hours to model!!! At least it came out OK. Cockpit/engine/nose positions are finally fixed. There's too little space between the canopy and the aforementioned mudguard, but I believe that is because the CG version doesn't have the flex and "fuzzy" of the real-world model.
