Today the green 2 part "Aves Apoxie" was hardened. I really like that stuff cause it sands pretty close to styrene, so if you sand a "apoxied" ara you don´t have the problem that many other have, different takeaway on the styrene compare to the used filling stuff.
First i´ve put it on the lathe to give it a few fast passes, not really spent any time on adjusting, just put it on the chuck and here we go. Due to the used universe look at SW you don´t want it look to "new/clean".

Next part was adding some details, please refer to the pics at the beginning of this thread. Evergreen offers premade strips and sheet in a lot of variations, for modelkit building and achitects concept buildings.

For cutting the strips i use this handy tool. It enables to cut angles, and ensures all cut pirces are the same lentgh (not very important here as i planned to sand both ends when the glue has set). But it eases things up and also speeds working up when doing repeating work.

Glued them to the piece, and hang it away for the glue to set.

Here you see it attached to the bottom. I also cut one of my lenses that were also used for the Treadwells eyes, here it will be used as a tiny monitor.
