It's an impressive build, but an odd way to construct it. Because he's not included enough rib frames, it shows in the outer hull being wavy. If you are going to use plasticard for a build in long lengths, it needs adequate support.

Still 10/10 for his effort though.

Thankyou - it's all done completely by eye and having a rough idea of what the end result should look like.

Excellent skilled work with plastic given the modest size of the model. Well done.
