Almost happy. Not quite. Will print from a different angle.

I'm pretty shitty at 3D drawing, but I do what I can with what I've got. Anyway. This part is 1,3cm long, so most of this detail will be lost.

Still roughing it out... But getting there.

The gun camera was situated under the center fuselage, next to the empty shell container. It had a side opening hatch, showing the G42B gun camera. I couldn't resist drawing it up in order to print it. First steps.

I knew how i was breaking up subassemblies so i knew the wheel would fit and turn. The same goes for the stand.

Cutting the parts free from the supports is nerve wrecking. Lot more small connection points to be cleaned up. The rear wheel actually turns. And the kickstand works too.

And here's the Brough Superior SS100. It will take a few hours of more work to get this prepped for 3d printing.

Hope the Norton 16H doesn’t bore you, but i need to get it printed properly and ready for paint before i continue the Whirlwind. The text on the base will see: it wasn’t the engines… The ones that know what killed the Whirlwind will understand.

Geeez! Even the tiny valve is there. A bit of small cleanup to do. Printing a few bikes more now. I’ll pose two under the Whirlwind. Double engine, so to speak.

After a wash and a cure

Altered the 3d file A LOT. The fenders are so thin they are translucent. Spokes are a bit thicker and came out good this time. We’ll see after a cure. Also started painting the wheels for the Whirlwind.

Sooo… printed the Norton and what i expected happened. The proper diameter of the spokes are too thin to print in 32nd scale. But… only a little. I’ll make the 1.3 times thicker and see what happens. The engine and all the other oarts are really there. You can’t keep see the translucency of the chain cover and even the engine parts through the thin walls. Also printed more small parts for the Peregrine engines.

Adding more wires with lead 0,3mm lead wire. Not much to go by in terms of reference, but just enough and some common sense.

More paint on the engines. Still a lot more painting and wiring to be added.

Decided to paint one block in the later all black colour and the other in the earlier half metal. Like the Kestrel engine. Makes it a bit more interesting to look at.
