Thanks for the link. It doesn't load any pics for me, but I appreciate the effort. Of course this toy will never be 100% screen accurate, but it will be much cooler than how it left the factory back in 1976  |

Printed the Engine Reactor and large baffles. I'm priming everything with Tamiya Fine White rattle can. I've left the main cabin portion untouched for the moment, as I'll be getting rid of the 2 cup holders on the top.   |

Printed the control module and put on the first coat of Tamiya Silver Leaf on the engine baffles. I was sort of surprised how well the rattle can Tamiya primer & lacquer paints have been laying down. I'll airbrush some of the details, but this thing is just too big to cover with my Iwata. I'm also sort of using this project to help me decide on what type of paint to use for the 50" Galactica base coat. Not sure I'm going to airbrush that monster lol. (never say never)   |

Printed one of the 4 main landing feet. These STL files all seem to be very good quality and perfect reproductions. Having said that, I won't be using these feet as they are still ugly.  |

The printed parts look great! You're performing some major surgery to this! I'm drafting up the cabin details and will be modding the interior supports soon. I think you'll like where I'll be going  |

Test fitting my upgraded cabin floor and side doors. I need to make sure I've got enough room under the floor for the wiring. Next I'll be moving onto scratch building interior walls.  . |
