Fire Raptor - progress

So I have been working hard on getting the fire raptor closer to being completed and since I have now been invited to take part in a battle this weekend there is even more pressure on me to get it done.

So here is some of the progress to date, I have hopes to get the finalised model ready to rock by the weekend.

Some aspects of the model I am extremely happy with but there are some areas I do wish I had made a better job of and I am slightly worried about the shear mass of the model and being able to glue it together in a way that holds and does not require constant repairs - something that is generally less of a problem with plastic models.
