U.S.S. Atlantis - Step 11.5, Masking and primering the warp drive tubes.

This is another extra step very similar to step 8.5 (part 3). All we are doing here is masking off the tube where glue joints will be and then primering the tube with 3 to 4 coats of grey primer.

Here we see that our tube is masked and ready for the primer coats.

When the primer is dry we can remove the masking tape and we are ready to glue on some of the detail parts. Next up is attaching the lower deck detail pieces to the main body tube.
