First thing I did tonight was sand the prow smooth, that also included a bit of superglue fill where I didn't have quite enough milliput. Whatever works, I guess. Next up the details to the bottom of the prow were added, as seen below.
After that I made the turret for the top, it matches the dorsal turret I already made near the bridge of the ship. I must say that this was very frustrating to do without my plastruct weld cement. Which I actually left open last time I worked on this in.... May. So, I had to make due with my superglue. Gotta work on it while I have the will, so it shall have to do.
I decided I liked the shape of the prow enough that I don't really want to bulk it out with any panel lines. So I moved right on to sculpting a figurehead. I decided on a winged skull. At this size I always feel like my #11 xacto blade is the best tool. The greenstuff does not usually stick to it and the blade allows for very clean cuts with minimal tearing and pulling. This is probably the smallest thing I have ever had to sculpt.
With that, I think I will call this one done. I will post some pictures of it assembled tomorrow or the next day. The last thing I want to do right now is accidentally touch the figurehead and crush it. Thanks for checking in.
