A valiant effort Dan! Although you didn't make the 48 hrs I am sure you will finish this beautiful model soon!

A very fine effort Dan, the clock may have stopped but the model continues, you have done an excellent job with the build.

A truly valiant effort, Dan, and although you didn't meet your own deadline, I'm betting you'll still complete an extraordinary model in record time.  I wouldn't have been able to finish it in under a month.
Cheers,

Back in the Saddle in Seattle... 8)

I do want to finish this guy and it's going well now. I made a simple jig (should have done so in the first place) based on some scale drawings.  It's poster foam and hot glue.



Now I'm making struts from crushed 1/16th aluminum tubing with brass in the tips. 



So far, so good!

I hope to finish this guy over the rainy weekend.

Cheers and thanks for the encouragement during my unsuccessful attempt,

Dan

Great looking jig, Dan!  That should help out considerably.
Cheers,
