Sanding my life away...

Quite a lot of updates on this one. Firstly, i noticed as soon as I got the kit the the photon torpedo launcher part was missing. I flirted with the idea of ordering a replacement part from Don's Light and Magic, but it only comes as part of a kit, along with other parts, and I'm really not looking to spend that kind of money. So I had to fabricate one, of which so far I've made the backing plate, I'll knock up the launcher tubes separately later on.

I also sanded the primer back off on parts of the hull that I wasn't happy with, and refilled these sections, which so far is looking better. Also made a start sanding the warp nacelles.

Now, I'd made a start sanding the top saucer section, and it quickly dawned on me that I could well spend the rest of my life on this part alone, its hard work. After a trip to the garage to scout out a better way of doing it, I came across some much harsher sandpaper than I was using before, which has made life far easier. It's still damned hard work, but I least I stand a chance of getting it finished before real starships are being launched.

It's getting there, slowly.
