Steampunk Protostar, Part 38 - Details, Details,,,

 The Protostar build is sailing along nicely. All of the remaining operations involve the application of more detailing elements that will continue to make the project Steam...punkier.

The first step, of course, is to attach the small assemblies made earlier in the build - the launch lugs, air intake, and smoke 'stack'.   These parts are epoxied in the appropriate spaces of the main body tube that were masked off before painting.

I did remember to use a small sanding tool to remove the shiny mylar layer from the tube to better facilitate glue adhesion.

Moving on...
