Had a fairly productive weekend. Got most of the main hull done. Because of perceived structural integrity issures, I did not use filler for the ginormous gaps around the hangar bay door inserts, only plastic scrap. I found out after I dropped it that my fears were unfounded - the plastic was not as brittle as I thought it was.
