First time assembly of all 3 rings of the body, plus the skirt. Looking pretty good so far. The skirt and ring 1 are glued and just need a little fine sanding work before they can be sprayed with primer. Ring 2 pieces need a bit more sanding of the high spots before they're ready to be glued together. Ring 3 is pretty much straight off the printer with no sanding done yet.

I was going to hold off on printing the legs until I had the body assembled, due to being short on spaces to store parts. I've decided to go ahead and start printing the legs anyway as I'm close to having the skirt and first 2 rings assembled and primed anyway.

It may look like I'm getting close to having the body done but there will be LOTS of priming, sanding and filling before the parts are ready for color. With the start of fall, I'm not sure if I'll be able to paint color this year.
