Cut out from 1mm styrene sheet and fitted the rear window panel of the wheelhouse.  Then started to work on the lower half of the front of the wheelhouse using more styrene sheet.  Used car body filler paste to fill in the rounded corners.

Some more work done of the superstructure with lots of sanding and filling and yet more sanding to form the rounded corners.  Also started sanding round the edges of the forward deck area.

The front section of the wheelhouse was cut out and the three windows marked out and cut out.  Then two lengths of angled aluminium were placed upright on the front and held in place with 3M clear tape.  This was to give the correct angle for the front window section.  The section was taped in place and then liquid plastic glue applied along the joint.  Aftfer the glue had set the side windows sections were measured top and bottom to get the correct angles.  Once cut out a little filing was needed to ensure a good fit.  Then the windows were cut out and the side sections glued in place.

I've made the engine room vent using styrene sheet with car body filler used to form the chamfered edges.

beautiful work, Tiny...……..I can now see  as this build progresses just how much more versatile this model at 1;24th is over the big lump that I made the moulds for...…...she was unhandleable to anyone but a body builder or sumo wrestler, {-) {-)

Nice work. What do you use to remove the pencil lines before painting?
