BSC 2025 – Wirelizard’s Shuttle, Part Six

Leave a comment

The last of this project’s posts until I can show off the painting work in progress photos and all the extra finished photos I didn’t use for the Lead Adventure Forum Build Something Contest 2025!

There was a bunch of pre-priming sanding, puttying and fiddling. The side walls of the fuselage pulled slightly skew during construction somehow, so the side rails that hold the roof panel in place had to be custom-fitted on each side.

The shuttle, complete except for landing gear and roof rails, front quarter view.
Rear view of the shuttle, with some final glueup of one of the rear baffle panels in progress.
Top view, showing the engraved panel lines in the wings nicely.
PRIMER! Here’s the underside, complete except for landing gear, all primered.
Primer, top view, with the already finished, painted, and decaled cargo bay masked off.
Proper supervision is essential to all well run projects. Sophie la Floof spent quite a bit of time on the rug under my project bench making sure things went smoothly.

The landing gear only went on after painting, decals, and weathering were all done, so I don’t have any photos of that to show off yet.

By the time this posts audience voting on Build Something Contest 2025 should have started over on Lead Adventure! Go check out all the great entries! BSC rules say no sharing WIP or finished painted pictures until either the contest is over or you’re eliminated from it, so there will be a bit of a pause in shuttle pix here, but I do have a gallery fully of painting photos to show eventually.
