I've almost finished the right one too, just needs some triagular support beams and the rear underside covering. In hindsight, I should have made 4mm covers instead of 2mm. I...

That would be 2.4mm balsa covering in the original design. Here, I printed out coverings that were largely empty space since ABS is much stronger than balsa is. To borrow an image from the...
