Update spaceshuttle

Spend a few hours on the spaceshuttle again today. Using the tips from the crew from robotime. Sanded and wax again and again. Still not totally satified but decided to move on and take the gamble on it wil work later on. Hopefully get to stage 2 testing tomorrow. Got most of the electronics on to the switchboard. Cant wait to test it

This looks great so far! Hopefully it will works better if your build is done. The wood looks different than in other structures, is that right?

Thank you so much for your help. Just did fase 2 testing and works great. Only thing is the wood on top of the switch doesn’t press down enough to active the switch so i need to put a little piece of wood beneath it i think.

Hopefully the paint won’t soak in too much when I paint it :wink:

I would indeed be very careful. The build is very thight in some spots amd I think paint might make the wood become thicker

Looks cool

Thank you. I’m very happy with it

I have never had the problem of the wood not fitting together after I painted it :wink:
