What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)
HubertB replied to Martinnfb's topic in Modelling Discussion
If the 3D design is already done, I just need the 3D file, either in a usable 3D format or as .stl file (.stl is for 3D printing already). It can then be scaled down to the size needed on the slicer program. If you have only a 2D drawings of, say, a spinner, I need basic dimensions like diameter, length, size of openings, profile. Translating a 2D spinner drawing in 3D is easy enough. Doing a 3D design of a wheel is a lot more involved, as the shape becomes complex. Hubert -

Time is free, and material cost infinitesimal given the likely weight. Hubert -

Not at all Martinn. I am just asking not to do the basic research: as you well know, LW things are not my daily cup of tea ... Hubert -

Of course. I always am ... Btw, printing a spinner should not be a big issue. If someone is willing to do the research and give me the basic dimensions and profile, it's a few minutes design, and a few hours' printing job Hubert -

Good choice with the Naxos antenna. It looks cooler, IMHO Hubert -

On the other hand, nobody will be able to tell you which is the right configuration. It’s like a wedding ceremony « speak now or shut-up forever », so you can say « I do » to whichever choice you want Hubert -

Excellent fix, as one could expect from a talented modeller like you 👍 ! Hubert -
Well, any smart businessman would know THIS is a subject that provides the recipe to print money by truckloads … TWO of the modelling industry’s top-sellers but ONE mold only 🤩 ! Yeahh, I know … I am a business genius : whom do you think Elon, Bill, Jeff and Mark learned their trade from 😎 ? Hubert

John B is Recouperating from Covid
HubertB replied to Peterpools's topic in Site & Forum Announcements
Get well soon John ! Glad it turned out OK for you. Hubert -
Gotta say that, in as much as I don’t really fancy the splinter camo, the shape of the Viggen is certainly not only impressive, but quite handsome, in my eyes, at least. Of course, it pales against the pure sexiness of the Draken, but still one of the best-looking of this generation. Nice work, Mark 👍 ! Hubert

PZL P.11c - Polish Fighter - IBG - 1/32
HubertB replied to DocRob's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
That's because what you are seeing is an -a, not a -c version. The -c was significantly different, with, among changes, the dorsal spine, a taller fin and rudder, an engine the thrust-line of which was lowered by 30 cms, a higher position of the seat in the cockpit (the two latter mods to improve pilot's vision), a different engine, a larger cwoling, etc... I love your experiments with oil paint. Learning a lot with this ! Hubert. PS: I have to ask .... Is it done yet ? -
The more I see your work, the less I regret jumping on board Great job. I hope I will be half as good as you with mine, Mark. Hubert

PZL P.11c - Polish Fighter - IBG - 1/32
HubertB replied to DocRob's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
The engine shown is more likely a Pegasus than a Mercury (assuming the prop is prototypical, 3-bladed ones were fitted to the -24, not the -11) and the designs evolved over time anyway. As I mentioned, the « blob » on the front is a kind of pressure monitoring device. It was standard on the Bristol Jupiter and its derivatives like the Mercury. It was also used by Gnome and Rhone, who first produced Jupiters under licence, than went their own way, but reused some engineering features of Bristol engines. It was certainly present on the G&R Mistral 9 which I designed when Marcin and I wrongly assumed, for a few days, that the Paris Air show 1932 P-11 c prototype had a Mistral fitted rather than a Mercury. Hubert PS: … and the spark plugs show on the sides of the Bitzkrieg cylinders
