Default Bobbed and Dovetailed Betty

it started as any old betty and then i got bored


i had already cut the strips so i could bend it
and i had cut the nose off

this shows how the sides line up with the hood the sides go under the hood so i have something to glue to later

i then cut the nose into three pieces and reused the two outer pieces i will use the center to glue the two pices together

i started taping everything together because i dont have any glue :-( lol

top view taped together im more interested in functionality than looks

bottom view all taped up

the dovetail all the superglue turned white idk why but idfc

the whole body all done
its my first time doing major body mods and hopefully everthing works and none of the seems open up after everything is glued

Holy crap I can see those pics from space!

Get some Shoe Goo/glue, take new pics, resize and show finished product.
