In fact I&#8217;m literally over with the project. It&#8217;s finished! Originally I had planned on 4 parts for this project, but I think I&#8217;m going to stretch it to 5 or 6 parts now that I see the amount of photos and description this model needs.<\/p>\n<p>So here is the third part. The Aft Roof.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_0236-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5123\" title=\"IMG_0236-1\" src=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_0236-1-1024x370.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_0236-1-1024x370.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/halofanforlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_0236-1-300x108.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Above shows various panels built to be attached to the side of the aft part of the ship.
