I have the shoulder of the upper section taped off so it won't fit into the top of the booster section for now. Once I get the black shot on the aft interstage and the upper half of the wrap on the third stage I can finally remove the tape and insert this into the booster for a 'complete' shot.HI Steven its comin on how much more to be done ? an can we see a full photo of what you have done so far ? lookin forward to the launch

I really appreciate everyone's responses. It's been humbling to say the least. I've made my fair share of mistakes with this and have subsequently learned from them. I know some would be satisfied with these imperfections which is understandable. I like many modelers can be excruciately picky. And that is the stuff that makes great modelers. Striving for excellence is the end goal and it will show. The reward is significant. Modelers are in a relatively small niche. Almost a lost art nowadays. When the younger generation sees the work and effort put into a project, they often go slack jawed, probably convinced they could never achieve the skills, knowledge and techniques involved. Yet I've given away models and starter sets to both adults and kids (with the parent's permission) in the hopes that a new relationship can be born out of such an endeavor. Start small and gradually work your way up.HI Steven its lookin great lets have more when you can as im enjoyin this build
