So today's bit of progress doesn't really look like much, but if it's not right the whole ship will look bad. This is the one place where I found a casting flaw in the kit.
One of the two major pieces for the neck was warped just enough to be pulling the "ends" apart. The solution is to clamp one end together and use some of the liquid brush on cement to weld the joint on one end. Then let that cure out where it will take the pressure of clamping the other end. Just repeat the process on the other end.

As always, the camera finds detail (goofs) that the eye doesn't notice.
