Hi Scott, hi everybody.
If you look closely at the left of the part, just over the corrugated skirt, all along a horizontal line between corrugated skirts and flat surface, there is like a depression, a long little fine trench (sorry, my english is terrible when it comes to precise words). Will this be present in the final castings? For the corrugations, my feeling is that if Scott did not imposed himself a deadline, the kit wouldn't be ready, probably very delayed, but absolutely perfect, corrugated panels included. I hate Scott's deadlines :-) I love his perfection, whatever the time it takes (i already hear some of you preparing the gag to shut up my mouth :-D

...looks like a fairly easy putty fix to me, though... agree with you on perfection... but OK with me to leave a little to the modler to fix.

Also keep in mind that the image posted here is at least twice the actual size. --Jim

You are right about that depression. Its on that part and the other 3. That's what I'm working to fix right now. I didn't realize how bad it was
when I made the mold for this part because the master is transparent and shows no shadows. I should have everything fixed and molded by the end of today
(Sunday, April 26) and you guys won't have to worry about dealing with it. I should also say that this particular part has the worst of these depressions.
I don't know why they are in the part. I do know they were done when Custom Replicas was prepping their version of the kit.

The molds are finished and I'm casting parts. I'll have some photos up soon. I also need to make up an assembly guide, though I'll be posting the
more esoteric information here and most of you won't need the assembly guide. With few exceptions, this kit goes together in a rather obvious manner!

I've got my work table all organized and cleared in preparation of receiving the Aries. The landing lights are on. :-)

Stefan-- I do plan on making the Orion at 1:72 scale. The Aries is 1:80 scale because I used a standard 6-inch hemisphere for the master. The difference in
scale is about 10%, but since the Orion is harder to assign scale to, they should look great together. Don't look for this new Orion for a long while,
though!

I don't care if it takes years, the most important is that it will be done in the future :-)

He said, "Please
let everyone know that the cockpit is going into production and kits will be available within the next 2 months" and, that he does not collect pre-order
fees.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy!
