Aliens Colonial Marines Dropship - droppin' with style
Step 4 - working on the cockpit.
This step is the work on the cockpit.
The canopy doesn’t have clear plastic for the canopy, so I talk about my choice on how to address that. I use clear plastic that you can get at most hobby stores in sheets. A quick little demo on just making the glass from the sheet.
There is also some test fitting of the cockpit tub with the lit parts to find out where things fit and don’t. The test fitting is a fiddly and repetitious process but it makes all the difference. Most of the details for the cockpit come from Eduard cockpit photo etch. The great thing about those is that they are both light-tight and pre-painted. Once they get into the cockpit, they look much better than they would otherwise.
