      Update.

      On Elisei's suggestions, I tried to tweak the rear side panel a little more. I like the new results, but still have the problem of it being a warped trapezoid. However, I do like the improvement. I also had the rear face too small, and enlarging it helped.

      Other details added.

          Thanks again for the heads up Elisei. I was able to find a solution that resolved the warped trapezoid problem and now it looks right. πŸ‘

          Various detailing roughed in.

              Updates.

              Once again, I am rebuilding some previous things as the proportions become more evident.

                Speaking of which... proportion adjustments.

                  Thanks for the help Elisei. It will take me a few days to dissect your model and incorporate it.

                  Thanks again. πŸ‘

                    I think yours is better, with just a few tweaks it will be great ! Afterall it is just a hand drawing and things might be bent a little !

                      I started a new job this week, so that's why there have been no updates.

                      Will have some to show this weekend.

                                Minor details update.

                                Darkened the shadows.

                                Need to remake the rear pods. Undercarriage detailing to come.
