So continuing on with the story of the Twilight build, I figured I'd showcase the rest of the foamcore base before going into the details of the styrene.
I discovered that the dorsal wing is canted towards the stern, which made the mockup a little more complicated.
The front engine pod are created by a grated cheese container, a Gungan cannon base, and a GI joe wheel. The rear engine was fabricated from baby formula containers and a GI Joe wheel.
The front of the engine dome was made using half a plastic Christmas ornament. I made sure to pick up a bunch of these for other projects before the holidays were over.
Keep in mind, other than the GI Joe greebles and the grated cheese container, everything else will be covered with styrene, meaning you can use just about anything as a base as long as you're willing to wrap it in styrene! The engine pods have the duty of counter-balancing the long single-sided wing so their weight wasn't as much of an issue, at least not until I figured out the landing gear. More on that soon....
