aahhhh - green stuff and sanding. Pure relaxation. Even can be done when having quality-time with the family 🙂
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Thanks again for the info, Doug @eydugstr!
Good news is I had checked the last build already!
All the best!
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Thanks @airbum!
It will take magician hands to smoothsand those spots!

To help keep the virus from spreading, please be sure to maintain social distancing while you are sanding ! Your additional scratch work has already turned this kit into a masterpiece. I can only imagine how nice it will look once you get some paint on the outer surfaces.

I have never seen the E-13 build that Doug had posted a link to. Very nice work there too.
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Thanks Louis @lgardner!

Indeed Doug's @eydugstr posted links sported very nice builds. Also, the first link he posted, with the conversions, was extremely helpful for my build (thanks again, Doug).

Coming up with a sanding update hopefully tonight (planned to have done it yesterday, but, tyring to put my son to sleep, I fell asleep too...o tempora, o mores!)

All the best, my friends!

Keep up the good work!

Glad it helped, Spiros! Sorry I wasn't a little quicker and get that posted before. Regardless, that's going to be a good looking bird.

Internediate stage of puttying and sanding

My finger-sandpaper system's angles of attack was an event to remember...

I still cannot understand how I managed to sand some of those spots...

New Filling/Sanding session to follow!

Spiros, @fiveten
I don't know how you managed to sand some of these places either, but you sure did a fine job of it ! I see some paint work in your very near future my friend.
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 5 months ago:

Thanks Louis @lgardner! Paint indeed coming up shortly!
Erik Gjørup said 4 years, 4 months ago:

@fiveten, glad to see you found the mentioned magicians hands!
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 4 months ago:

Thanks @airbum!
...I still try to figure out how they sneaked into there...
Marcus Vinicius Teixeira Borges said 4 years, 4 months ago:

Spiros,I am considering classifying you as as X-Men : Octopus!

Outstanding work so far.All the best!
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 4 months ago:

And, moreover, @mvtb, most of the Octopus sanding was done in blind (there was no chance to sneaklook in there during sanding...)...so eyes closed for inspiration! is
Loved them X-Men classification!
My Jake has just finished her sanding session!
Tomorrow will be masking time and...maybe some paint?
All the best!

Spiros, @fiveten
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh the painting. That is one of my favorite times when building a model. I'll bet you and your X-Men Octopus fingers are happy the sanding is done. That is one of my least favorite parts about building a model. looking forward to seeing you work your magic with the painting.

Are you painting yours Green over Gray or will yours be overall gray ?
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 years, 4 months ago:

Thanks Louis @lgardner!
Yes, sanding is not the best part of model building, especially when it takes challenging endless loops...
Will do a green over grey machine that I seem to have reasonably documented.
All the best, my friend!
