I’m making great progress with the final shaping. Unfortunately, the foam putty I’m using is hard to get locally and in limited supply online too. I have to order it and wait for the next batch to arrive in order to progress further. I’m also being my usual perfectionist self, so that doesn’t help either.

It’s looking good though and there are only a few rough spots I need to clean up on the sides and the top, so sealing and painting will happen soon. I wasn’t as careful with applying the putty, and it got in the spaces that it shouldn’t have, so I’ll need to carve around the edges to get the panels to pop out like they’re supposed to. I’m not worried about that at all. It’s just one more thing on my list.
