Look what popped up on my facebook timeline. High res scans of the real photo’s taken by the us army. we all know these photo’s but not in this resolution.

The Herkules is done!

First test print of Willy

First paint on the Herkules.

Geezzz... Just had ChatGPT complete this first image and isolated it on a white background. Then imported it into Meshy and brought Willy Messerschmitt to life. Wow.. Almost perfect. I'll have a few more go's. Especially the face needs more attention.

Yes. Note that i have a paid ChatGPT account and a paid Meshy account. First i prompt ChatGPT to create an image of a scientist. I clearly describe what he should look like and his pose. Then i save the created image and upkoad it on Meshy to create a highly detailed 3d model. then i download the STL

First AI generated prints. This REALLY feels like cheating and i’m sure it is…

Primed, sanded the lift. Added brass and metal rods that act as hinges. Tested the height. All good to go! Spending a lot of time smoothing out the seams of the p1101. Almost done.

Loving these AK markers. They feel like ‘cheating’

I could not help myself and prompted AI to draw me a 3D scientist to go along the P.1101. I have a 1/32 US soldier in the stash that looks like he just discovered the thing, but the idea of the scientist is tempting too.

I’m not too keen on selling since it’s a hobby, but i might put it up on Shapeways. Just managed to get the attachment points perfect. Now you can just pull the supports and the whole thing falls clean of the model. The height of the Herkules is modelled at 6cm, which will match the height of the tail. If you study the photos you’ll see the compressed rear oleo’s of the main gear making the plane sit more in an angle and lower at the tail, but I’ll keep the stance as is.

Almost there.

Final version and print of the main body of the Herkules. Thickened the piston. And altered some other parts. Thinned the attachment points of the supports. The model is now easier to seperate from the supports. This will do.

Fixed the structure. All good to go now!

Printed another one in beige resin. This stuff is a bit more brittle but has finer details. Also just got word from Arsenal45 that i need a few extra supports in the base plate simce i’m modelling the Herkules IIB and not the IIA.
