Merciful God, THANK YOU-- this is a fantastic assembly guide for DonS's magnum-opus.

What epoxy are you using to hold the saucer parts to the resin blockhouse?

[Neb]

Nice job Lou!

All that cutting----you're a brave man.....

[Aztek Dummy]

all epoxies are Loctite 1 minute or 5 minute epoxy

I second this Mr. Aztec I have done some searching for an aztec-ing procedure without success with a mind towards what a TOS-TMP transition aztec pattern might look like (more primitive i would imagine). I mean I think I have it figured out how its done with everything that Ive seen but still would like to see a complete procedure if anyone knows of one

I took a crack at this

as for the subject at hand, I've locked down the top of the Reliant and I'm currently tackling the nacelles

[DonS]

Wow, that looks great, Lou! No wonder so many people are contacting me about a reissue of the kit.

[SCI-FI]

Related question for Lou: when are you releasing a mask set for the 1/350th Reliant?

Magnificent work thus far is all I can say

[SCI-FI]

Lou's videos are so informative, I subscribed to his YT channel, and bought my first Aztek Dummy set -- 1/537 Reliant Aztek set, which I will use as a practice project before I attempt the "azteking" on my 1/350 Reliant....


Of course, I need a 1/350 Reliant aztek set for that...

[Aztek Dummy]

Thanks for the kind words, guys...

I'm really close to the finish line.
I've asked Don to put out the word when I have a template set ready for sale. right now it's estimated at 35.00 and will include everything you saw in the videos. I just need to nail down the quantities ( like how many windows are needed etc...) and it'll be ready to go
