Re: Q's ROTJ Build Begins
Going slowly with this as I'm only working on it between other jobs ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Some trimming done, I've left the recess on the back of the front section, this will fit under the back piece. Also cut another 5 mm off the rear piece to get rid of the curve left form vac forming, also leaves a small chanel for some bondo or ABS paste.

Glue dry, magnets off, sanded all over to get rid of any glue residue and also give bondo and primer something to adhere too.

Thanks budGruff wrote:Looking really good
Now with a coat of primer to see how it's looking, a few pin holes to touch up then a few coats of primer/filler when the weather warms up.
