Curt, my old friend...you better give those elves a raise in pay, it seems like they're slowing down a bit.
Well, at least they're still doing GREATwork, even if they are a bit slower than before!!

All wrapped up ready to move to "UnderGlass"
As the paint cured it caused the thin vacuum form plastic to "warp" a little, thereby the upper panels are not meshing with the lower body as they did in the primer state:
So this is an idea on how I'll be displaying the model when it shows up at a model show and/or contest:
thanx for lookin'

Beautiful! Great details and an absolutely convincing replica in every way.
It's a shame about the warpage, but the display idea really works and with all that tasty interior stuff actually requires it. For future reference, do you think it would have helped to clamp or pin the body parts into position as the paint cured?
