Nose and Wheels
Putzin’ around with a few small things over the last few days. Built the front nose intake. The top/bottom plate and vertical posts/vanes are glued together but poster tacked into place to hold them until the glue dries. I did…

Working My Tail Off!
I’m working my tail off here! I’ve now paneled up the entire tail wings. I created smaller plates using the original struts and wing panels as templates. Then I trimmed them a bit smaller and cut them into interesting shapes,…
Detailing The Rear
Updates! I wanted to get the vertical stabilizers done today and that meant doing some of the detailing/paneling on the rear wing section to accomplish this. Here’s how I put it together. I superglued the engines in place and sanded…
Moar Engines!
Got a little work done tonight – won’t look like much but it’s a bit further along than last night. Did the rolled portion of the wings leading edges. I sliced a styrene tube lengthwise and trimmed it to fit…
Blasta Bommer and Lessons on Over-Engineering
Small progress last night on the bommer. Would have gotten more finished but I stumbled a few times, silly mistakes, all recoverable with a little time and grousing. My last few large Apocalypse projects have taught me a little about…

The Blasta Bomma Continues
Got some time tonight to work on the blasta bommer. I knocked out the base shapes for the tail – this should clear up a couple of questions floating around. Badfangs suggestion about raising the tail engines up so they’re…
Starting to Look Like It Might Fly!
Made a little progress on the bommer yesterday. Finished the wing tips and made the rear exit compartment. It’s difficult (not being a ship/aircraft builder) to wrap my head around how the center ribbing down the rest of the tail…
Blasta Bommer Interior Structure
Spent an hour working on getting the wing/engine connector worked out. Nothing too complex really. Carefully drilled out a hole big enough to just fit the 1/2 PVC into in each engine housing. Cut some pvc and temporarily hot-glued it…
