Building and starting to paint the Main Management Module

This took almost a day to re-draw and then cut out all of the parts. Only a few changes made on the fly and a couple of mistakes of material thickness. I done this yesterday and got one assembled today. This is not a quick process and I may not get anything further done until I get back after the boot camp a week on Monday but we will see.

Everything was stuck with superglue and all of the parts that are separate are stuck with masking tape for the moment to ensure the parts fit.  The build for one took 4 hours non-stop it’s not perfect so I decided to paint this as number 4/ The most important is number 3 as this is the original so I will do this one last.

These are some of the details that I like the most so far.

The shutters are only masking taped on but I think this will look great painted.

The small cabinets look cool and fitting felt a bit weird these not being MDF.

I like the acrylic windows these will look good back painted black the challenge will be gluing them prior to you don’t see the gap. I may chicken out and just make them in two pieces.

So came the painting. Done this as usual in a zenith so I would get a good idea of the shape I was dealing with. This was done in Poundland black and primer grey.

I then moved on I thought about just being them all blue with different colour hatches and door. I decided to try and make a similar colour like I done with the Power hub each different for each number.

So there we have it, my weekends work so far. Not all of it I have 3 bags full of components for the 3 other hubs. I didn’t like building these they are not symmetrical enough for me and lines that should flow don’t (on the paper model and mine).

Good start on this. Hopeful to finish this up with something I like. May be just over a week before my next update. Time to start putting things aside for the boot camp!
