Moving along much slower than my fellow Marauder carvers.

There be a Marauder on your bench. Coming along nicely.

I was able to get new nacelles carved and rough-fitted to the wings. I still need to do more tweaking to get them situated correctly. One ended up being farther outboard than the other, and I still need to get them to sit parallel to each other. The tail pieces still need to be shaped, then the lower fuselage. I'm going to try drilling a hole for the upper turret to sit in. We'll see how that goes.

Here are the photos of my current progress:

That's looking great, Dave! How do you get such a smooth curve for where the wing will sit?

The wood is dense, not the easiest to carve. Sanding blocks are essential.
