L.E.M Stage 1c - Front fuselage

The front fuselage was quite hard to model; it has several different shapes and angles (mostly the weird triangle windows shapes)

At first: The basic round shape on the left of the picture was turn on a lathe ( Unimat 1 ).


Then the angles were cut off with a razor blade.

The nose and door sidings were put after the windows angles were cut; otherwise it would have not been possible to cut the straight angles shapes. The nose was sanded to dimension directly on the fuselage.
