The jet engine halves, alien pilot, stand arm, and stand base will was not used in the movie so this build will not include these either. Only three parts will be used. The clear canopy which will be painted silver and the upper and lower fuselage halves.
Nice job on those seam lines! That’s no small effort.
I built the Glencoe Space Station for a client a few years back and the molds were in rough shape. Lots of sanding and puttying to make it presentable!
Working on the cockpit dome. This part was already pulled off the sprue and loose in the box. I was about to work on the bottom to smooth it out and fill that gap. Dry fitting reveals this to be unnecessary. That ring around the cockpit hides all that anyway
Filling in the four holes for the rocket thrusters. I’m not using them. The movie didn’t. Now I notice a gap around half of the canopy dome. More putty today.
I decided to use the base parts instead of a different idea that I never thought of. Some quick clean up of seam lines but now ready for Rust-Oleum flat black.
