Good Day, today I did a bit more, sorted the ratemaster bulb top and bottom and tweaked the missile tubes, they need a bit more I think and put the hulls together to make sure they will match out of the mould. need to tweak the upper bulge a bit as I was a bit heavy handed with the sanding on one side, lol.

[RCnut]

Done a bit today, Added the tubes, they need tweaking a bit but overall im quite happy with the way there turning out, I also made the rear top Bubble which I will do using filler.

Damm straight!

Oh, man! 'Research' gets no better than an actual miniature in your hot little hands!

That's it! That's where they came from. What's that guy's name?

David

That would be Bob Smith (the B in A+B Models) He got the original Stingray Model from Phil.

Sorry, don't remember who gave me those paint cheat-line drawings. Wish I did. Credit where credit is due is my rule.

Good work, done quickly. You, sir, are a MACHINE!

David

Coming from you sir that is praise indeed!

The only reason I asked about those cheat line drawings is that they were also included in the RA Kit.

Had a bit of time off today so I went at it, The top layer needs softening a bit but other than that I'm quite happy with how its turning out, the white bits are the torpedo "tubes" which will be placed in holes that I will cut out.

[RCnut]

Done a bit more today, Have to do the upper level where the cabin sits next.

[RCnut]

Its all good, Who did the Masks just out of interest? I'm coming along with it at the moment, just having a spot of lunch. Ill get it to a point and take some shots and post tonight. Then as I'm off tommorrow I will make a start on the upper raised section.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

My pleasure, sir.

Likely not much new to you, but maybe the color demarcation lines -- that might be useful when you get to the finish color masking chore. And the old cut-away from both an Annual and a fan produced piece (Theo, maybe?). And a copy of the venerable Phil Rae plans.
