Greetings, An update...
All ribs have been fitted, there will now be much grinding , polishing and gnashing of teeth and wailing..
As can be seen there is a fair amount of work to do.
In spite of the fact that I chose not to "chamfer" certain ribs as per the instructions it is not an onerous task to fair the internals.
It is certainly a good feeling having reached this stage albeit a very early stage as I can now get a better mental picture of the processes of the build.
I can clearly see several places that were attempted early in the build that will need to be revisited..But hey; all good fun!
Once again, sorry about the quality of the pictures.
Whilst waiting for glue to dry I got to thinking......
These days macro photography is available to all. With modern technology one can see every minute detail of the model: now I wonder if that model, viewed with the naked eye from a distance ,say in keeping with a museum viewpoint, would it look as good and would it have a certain emotional presence rather than being a clinical cold object?
There are those among you who I believe, would say I should use a fast setting glue to avoid these thoughts.!
