Hello Everybody!
I decided that I want to add Proton Packs. After all, they're almost as iconic as the car itself. Even though seeing interior detail will be a little difficult after assembly, I feel that the model just wouldn't be complete without them.
After some searching, I found a very workable pattern at Starship Modeler: http://www.starshipmodeler.com/rv/kr_pax.htm
As a practice run I first made one example using card stock. I also wanted to see if card stock would be a suitable material to use for making these.
It's not.
I then printed out four patterns in scale and using canopy glue, affixed them directly to some scrap sheet styrene approximately 1mm thick. I gave the glue a day to dry and started cutting and filing.
After a few building sessions, here is the result.
Now I have to make up the ancillaries and attach them and do a little detail painting. Then I'll start on building the racks and gurney.
That's all for now.
As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment.
David G.
