Second Booster Cover

Ok, today I decided to make the second Booster Cover, but this time I glued with the correct liquid and I finished really faster and easy. Despite I made one before, I made a little mistake when I cut the upper layer thinking that it was too wide, but when I glued all parts I realized that it was wider to fit all parts together (it can be seen in the inner medium part), but I will fix it later with filler before painting.

Coin Slot Strips

Today It's the turn for the Coin Slot Strips. I made it from the flat pack of 3mm styrene, but I had to draw the outlines in Illustrator because when I printed the pdf the scale wasn't right. Yesterday I got the Humbrol liquid glue so it was easier and faster using a needle than the previous glue. I put it in the skins and it looks pretty decent. I still have to put filler before painting.

Leg Struts

At the same time that I've been working on Booster Covers I started to build the Leg Struts. I bought PVC Pipes of 21mm diameter, cut it in 2 pieces, glued 1mm styrene around them to obtain the shapes and for thicker parts I glued 2 or 3 layers. To join the two pipes I bend a 0.5mm styrene strip to simulate a thinner pipe.
For the upper box I glued 9 squares of 3mm of styrene and for the circle I cut a 3mm of styrene as well. You will see how it will fit with the Booster Cover. A handcraft piece :-O
