Ahoy!
Thanks for the encouraging words everyone
I did some more work:
I added the hull plating then cut and sanded it to shape. It's far from perfect but it will do.
After this I glued in the engines. I'm thinking of adding some shielding for the underside of the exhaust. They seem to be a bit too exposed for my liking.
Then came the fins which gave the whole thing that Spaceman Spiff vibe
I also added some damage to give a reason for the current state of the craft. I planned to make it bigger and do some detailing inside with exploded tubes and wires. However I have forgotten it when I was doing the plating and glued blasted thing on...
So it is a smaller hole and you don't see much inside.
The next big thing is the cockpit. I need to make a not-entirely-circular panel which slopes inward, and I'm not really sure how to do it...
I'm tempted to just put the cockpit canopy on and smudge it so one cannot see inside, but I really want to fiddle with the detailing inside. I have the whole Friday off, so if I will tray to do it, and if it's no good I will just hide it with the canopy.
