This time a lot of repetitious Evergreen T section and grooved sheet, Hobby King half round ABS and 0.5mm styrene sheet parts superglued to the PVC reducers.
Still more panels to add the front section of the engines.
Thanks for looking.
More soon...

Resilient cruiser part 3
Part 2 is here.
Decided to start filling in the engine circumference and then needed to flip the model over to complete the recessed centre band. While it was flipped over on the work stand I thought I may as well make a start on the detailing of the underside.
Model kit parts and Transformer toy bits are employed along with evergreen strips and textured sheet. Added to that is various thicknesses of styrene sheet, foamed PVC sheet and two sizes of single core electrical wire piping.
The support rod mount and DC power connector are behind a removable hatch held in place with a magnet.
The red part in the middle acts as a convenient handle to grip the hatch and the two round parts either side are separately removable so the hatch can be replaced with the support rod and power cable in place aligned through the matching holes.
A lot more still to do but all in all a pretty productive weekend considering this side was completely blank before I started.
