Thanks FrankenWashie,
That's a good approach - you got the shape without compromising the strength. Can I say that finish looks terrific. Love the dark stain with the brown. Kind of relic-ed looking. Also, novel approach to the placement of the battery box.

Thanks mate. The surface finish isn’t what I wanted, it’s quite uneven. But to be fair it was my first kit and I’d been fairly ambitious with the mods and the finish, but that’s part of the fun.

You just need to ask yourselves how you want that joint to look, and how far you are willing to go to make it look like that.
Adding some additional depth to the heel is pretty simple, it’s whether you want to further contour that Heel/body transition that will complicate it.

best of luck with it!
