Mars Snooper Build Part 19 Trimming The Long Lug

The instructions have you glue the long lug through the shrouds then trim the lug flush with the angle of Shroud #1.
I didn't want to run the risk of cutting into the shroud so I decided to trim the lug off the model.

The lug was slid into place and pencil marked around the oval perimeter of the shroud.





The lug was removed and angle cut with a new razor blade.






Here's the first dry fit of the trimmed lug in Shroud #1. The lower half of the lug is a little high.
It'll be removed again and sanded with a block until it matches the slope of Shroud #1.
