Above is the model from last time, given a trim, and to check I took the photo and mirrored each half to judge how close I was to my goal, then, I mirrored the picture again.
Below the pictures on the right show the difference between mirroring using the center line of the tower versus cutting from where the tower meets the front slope.
This was when I noticed my tower was skew-whiff. I hacked away at the tower to make it symmetrical, or at least more or less symmetrical, checking my overall progress towards capturing the original Martian Metals Ogre
Below is a birds eye view showing Keith Falk's Martian Metals Ogre, versus my conversion. As can be seen, my facsimile is going to be a quarter of an inch shorter than the Martian Metals casting.
It is what it is.
At this point I thought it was time to add the bug eyes. Drilling out the holes, revealed why I had been struggling to make the main front glacis symmetrical.
The work continues in the never ending saga of adding and subtracting putty.
That's all for now. Catch you on the bounce.
