My initial idea was to screw an eye hook into the bottom of the inside bulb and attach a line to that. What I did instead was drill two small holes close to each other in the crown and make loop in the line. To that on that outside I tied off the lighter line. Using a fishing line clip was also an idea I had. This should work well.


At the corner of each wing, I drilled a single hole. Here I lopped the lighter test line. Underneath, I tied it off to a broken toothpick. The ideal is to tie off with a heavy duty staple. This will be far less obtrusive.




The crud up by the windows is Walther's Decal 'hiding solution'. It seems to be a variant of rubber cement and I am not impressed. Were I to try and remove it now, it would tear the decal. Also, look at the middle and you will clearly see that it does not hide the decal edge at all.


I don't think silver here is canon, but I like the effect.


Somewhere along the line I seem to have chipped the stbd side grill. Between the slats is painted silver. That red decal was later removed and a new one put down.


This is the spacing issue I mentioned in a previous post. The entire aft port corner sits above the hull. All other areas are flat. Had I made this corner flat to the hull, the front grill would have lifted above the surface.


I was going for the saran wrap, but pulled out the Reynold's instead. Foil is a good solution as it wraps to itself without being the total pain in the ass that plastic wrap is.




The dent seen in the highlight area occured by simply resting the ship belly up for several minutes. This is eight days after application. When Testors spray goes down nice, it is pleasant to work with. At all other times it is contemptable and without merit.


I'll do some proper beauty shots and post them later.
