Having the 3D printed chocks and bollards will be a nice addition. I'm fortunate in that those items on my kit are provided with the Flyhawk detail set as turned aluminum (for the bollards) and PE (for the cleats). The PE cleats will have to be folded to give additional thickness. Fun.

I like how the conversion is coming along here George (@gblair). Once you get some of this together, you'll have to show us a farther away shot so we can see how it looks overall.

Great scratch building, George @gblair

The name of the game today was getting two identical sides to the new troops compartment amidships. I had previously cut a template, then rough cut a side in .06 plastic. I started today by getting final measurements for the side from my working plans, then used a Dremel to grind the side to its 6mm height. I used sanding sticks to smooth everything out, then rechecked the height along the side. I used the first plastic side as a template for the second side, which should be identical. It took a while to cut, grind, and sand the second wall to shape, but I think the two sides are close enough to use. My granddaughter will be at the house for most of the day tomorrow, but I hope to move the superstructure forward a little after she leaves. Cheers.

Thanks, Spiros (@fiveten). Hopefully they will fit.

Thanks, John (@johnb). Since I am converting these areas, I want to take my time and be sure of every step.

Hi Alfred (@alfred): Making slow, but sure progress. I printed the small parts in tan filament, so they will be forever gone if they take the big dive into the carpet. Luckily, I can print more it I lose some.

Nice, steady progress, my friend @gblair!

Thanks, Spiros (@fiveten) and John (@johnb).
