The panel is on and now I've marked off where the vent holes will go. There are two sets of these 180 degrees apart from one another. These will be drilled out rather than using decals to replicate them.

With spot putty, filing and sanding, these will come out fine once I shoot primer over them as you will see later.Comment

These are fill and drain vents along with umbilical connectors to be placed near the bottom of the SC-1 stage.Comment

Not the best photo, this piece came from Shapeways, one of a number of different manufacturers I've gone to for bringing this to life along with scratch building. Oz Mods and New Ware. I've penciled in the detail to bring it out for the photo.Comment

The SLA and IU are both from Shapeways. The kit simply gave you a heavy paper piece along with 1mm. stringer material to mark off the four separate SLA panels. As for the IU, the original gave you no further details, just a blank slate.Comment

What a massive undertaking ..........and Welcome to the forum. It seems you like to live in the scratchy zone, at least in this particular case. Great work on this so far and is Starbucks charging you for storage? :rolling:

No storage as I bring this whole thing in my Z4, either with the top up or down. With the top up I need to break it down into two separate sections which fit in the passenger side. With the top down I can drive with the entire stack as a one piece unit. I get a lot of questions from both employees and customers about this project. Terri the manager has told me that I'm more than welcome. She had stated it becomes a source of taking a customer's time while waiting for their order, to be......distracted while engaging with me. Smart business savvy. Since the virus issue I haven't been able to do this as no seating is still the standing order. Only drive through and walk ins allowed.Comment

In this picture we have the original piece on the left, the actual drawing size and the balsa piece I made to scale size. The difference is obvious.Comment

Again the original resin piece on the left, the actual drawn size and my balsa piece. The difference is considerable here.Comment
