Thor Able Carded Build Part 2 Internal Supports

The internal strengthening rings were glued onto cereal box cardboard.
I'm rolling a clean dowel over the glued rings to smooth out and remove excess glue.

The circles in the middle will be enlarged for the central BT-5 tube later.





This is the B3 (or lower main body) piece.
On the cardstock print are some small red tick marks. Those ticks are the positioning marks for the internal ring support strips.
Turn over the cut B3 on the printed sheet and mark the strip lines on the inside, unprinted side.





I'm smoothing out the glue coat with the backside of a very dull razor blade.
Throughout the build, remind yourself not to use much white glue. TIP: Carded models (shroud tabs too) take less glue than you might think.






The B3 Connector Tab (and all tabs in the build) are separate pieces so the joint seams are smoother.
The B3 Tab is being smoothed out by rolling a clean dowel over it.
