Chop Shop: One Sep Back

So, here I am, still unable to drag this conversion across the finish line. Why? Because the front treads aren't symmetrical, as can seen here. And, as can be seen above the missile pods are like Goldilocks and the three bears (one too large, one too small, and one in the middle).

Bah, humbug! This drives me insane.

My inner ADHD OCD just brings me to a halt (PS: Not diagnosed with either, this is a throwaway comment, pay it no heed). 

And from the side the Mark 5 was starting to look the business with its bug-eyes too.

 

So, unable to square the offset asymmetrical nose, I pulled the right side bogie off.

Using a set-square, I glued the bogie back on. Making sure that it was in the right place, and parallel. Not as easy as it sounds, but nothing about this build has been easy.  

If, were starting again, I would check to make the model was square to begin with. Assuming stuff makes an ass out any decision you make.

I've add more epoxy putty to the front, as I noticed that the nose was skew-whiff from the front of the model not being square. It may not be perfect now, but it at least has more than a nodding acquaintance with the concept of symmetry.

And a shot from above.

 

That's all for now. The work continues so, until next time. Take care.
