@DS,
Well, thank you. What amuses me is the fact that the original project was supposed to produce two of these puppies (for really big games). However, as I got deeper into the construction and things got more complicated or went pear-shaped, it quickly became an exercise of "get one built before it kills you".
I rather naively got into this with the mistaken impression that all I had to do was draw the outline on the sheet plastic, etch it, and snap the pieces out, and it would then be a pretty straight forward exercise to build. In reality, the construction of the fuselage became a serious endeavor as nothing lined up the first time, gaps developed, etc.
Also, I had a deadline to get it completed before the Specialist Con in Memphis (October), so as the struggle continued, I had to face the facts that there wasn't going to be enough time to make two.
However, the exercise was not in vain as I am really happy with how it turned out, it wasn't "that" difficult to build (relatively speaking), I've had a lot of fun playing with it in my games, and at some point, I will use what I learned to construct a 40K Thunderhawk for my chapter.
Thanx again!
