I took a couple of new pictures today. I am really struggling with the final finish. I sprayed it with lacquer and didn't like the outcome so I removed it. I am going to try a wax finish instead.

I started to model a starship in cardboard and after looking at all the angles and curves, I decided to try a Tie Fighter instead.

I finally got the headlight like I wanted it. Everything is finished now. I am in the polishing stage. This takes a few days because when I am polishing I may notice a slight imperfection that needs work. Sometimes polishing will break something loose. Here are some pictures after initial polishing.

I finished the tender today. I am reworking the headlight on the engine next and I will be done soon.

Moving on with the tender.

1) trial look with tender on the base
2) Attaching the wheels to the base
