Jinx Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks for the kind words and the prompt to add my own update! I am now calling the orbiter (99.9%) finished. I still have the umbilical doors to add and perhaps a little weathering, particularly to the heat shield but it’s as good as done! I am now starting on the boosters and ET. I have assembled the parts and cut/affixed the larger New Ware resin bits. Just in the sanding and smoothing stage now… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinx Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hi, just reviving this thread to say the project isn’t dead I just took some time away due to having issues with the SRBs that was irritating me and then having some home renovation work on. I have since added the New aware resin parts to the SRBs, used styrene to scratch build some additional small details, painted it up including the slightly off-white colour in places and added decals. Couple of little additions to make but they’re essentially done. Now I am in the process of working on the ET, having removed all the kit mouldings I have marked up the position of the resin parts and am masking them ready for the glue/flour insulation phase. I’ll also be adding tape strips to replicate the banding effect which I have seen done before to great effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
