Estes Lunar Scout #7290 Build, Part 2, Parts Prep







There are a lot of laser cut hold down tabs to clear. Take your time and use a sharp knife.

I chose to sand off and clear the burnt edges.
The upper is the before,

The lower picture is after lightly sanding.
I didn't sand every inside edge, just the outside, leading and trailing edges and sides that would be easily seen.



Look at all the left overs!
I'm not keeping these, I just wanted to show how much trimming is done before any glue is used.

  1. Some folks would probably use those left-over bits as "greebles" and "nurnies" (various bits stuck onto a surface of a sci-fi miniature to to give impression of complexity and add visual interest).
