I assume that everyone is happy and healthy? Wifey doing well?

Yep everyone's fine. It's a good thing my wife knows how to git 'er done! She did most of her laboring at home, so when we got to the hospital, we were there no more than an hour and we had a baby! No complications, it all went smoothly.

Here's a pic of the little princess, Helena Christina
(if the mods will allow a bit of off-topicness)

IT LIVES!!!!!!

Ok I'm back on this project, and I actually got something new to show.
Looking back at my last update, I had just finished the one side of ribs,
and one armor panel. Well, I finally managed to finish the ribs on the
other side, and much much more! Check it out:

After that exercise in tedium, I did the ends.

The center areas will be cut out later, but I kept them intact for now. I won't know how
much to cut off until I get the inside panels done.

Then it was on to the rest of the outer armor plates. Going off the ref pics, I sketched out some designs
and cut them out just as before.

Using the same technique, I glued the smaller panels onto the main piece.

More sketching, going off of my earlier chalk markings.

For the end armor panels, had to do some measuring and a little geometry to get the right shape.

I also needed to get the correct curves for the shape so they match.
I brought my trusty flexible curve out again to transfer the curve from the main body to the sheet.

Not a bad match! Now to do it again for the other end.

Comparing it to the ref pic.

All the armor panels done! Well, almost all. I still need to do the top.
But I can't do the top until I get all these panels glued on.

I thought I would shoot a coat of primer onto the whole thing to get underneath the panels before I glued them on,
but also because I wanted to see this thing all one color for once!

Looks pretty good, don't you think? This is where I'm at now. Next step is to get all the armor pieces glued down, and the top armor on.

Feels good to be back on track with this mod. I can't believe it's been over two months since I stopped working on it.
Hopefully I can keep at it now, and post some regular updates from here on out.

Incredible! Looks Fan-Freakin-Tastic. The Detail is Right on, Right on. +Rep
I was wondering if you were going to come back and continue this.
Welcome Back!
