    Found this pic of Hans Müller in his plane. Great shot of faded paint on cowling. Note the wheel chocks hanging by chains from the fuselage....

    Hi Bertl, Thnx for those! I should have looked at these pics better before venturing in the Taurus engine. Pure headache material. 1. I glued the cilinders on. Only to discover the engine would not fit the cowling of the WnW kit. 2. I debonded all the cilinders and shortened them 1,5 mm each. 3. Then i saw Aviattic is releasing a beautiful resin scale thickness cowling that will fit the Taurus engine. Duh! 4. After this i somehow managed to glue all the cilinder heads / caps in the wrong way round. This was a pain. 5. And by sawing off the rocker arms from the block I already managed to screw up 2 parts. This piece of kit really makes me doubt my abilities. You can see an empty strip of aspirine in the background. Here's where I'm at...

    As pure punishment... now you MUST build it!

    Hi Doug, It sure is a sweet kit from the box.... Doesn't need much at all. Love to see what you'll do with this. Cheers, Jeroen

    The Prop Bosses arrived from Shapeways. All i can say is... WOW!! No print lines at all. Very fine detailed crisp detail. Exactly how i modelled it. I'll prime it and take some more pics later on...

    Wow... nice work. AGAIN! Can't wait to see some paint on her. It is a 'her' isn't she? Loving this...
  16. JeroenPeters
    ooooohhh Nice! Looks great to me. Especially after some washes and more grime. Keep going with this. I like it!!

    No problem dr-gn! It's all a bit new to me too, so I'm happy with any info and help. Just uploaded the 3d file to Shapeways and checked the dimensions. I made three bosses in a row, and put them on a little stem so they're easy to saw off. The material I chose is Ultra Detail frosted plastic. I've seen this stuff at a show recently and loved the detail. As said: If the detail is not sharp enough, I'll the the jewelry link you posted. I expect the samples by january 15th. Keep u posted. Cheers, Jeroen

    Hi Steve, Thnx! Sure! The 3d drawing is quite basic, since this piece is quite basic. The 3D printer printed with very thin layers of molten plastic. It builds up from the bottom. The more expensive the printer, the finer the detail and thinner the layers. So the printing starts on a platform. And the thicker or higher the part is, the higher the print head moves.. The size of the object is limited by how wide and how high the print-head can get. Hope to have a first sample soon! Cheers, Jeroen

    Large Scale Bday guys! Have a good one!
  20. JeroenPeters
    Wow! Thnx dr-gn! I might try that place, but first I'll try Shapeways. I've had some of their stuff in my hands, and was amazed by the detail. Yes I could use real nuts and bolts, but I'd like to print several bosses. Axial, Heine, Garuda and add them to my stash, spares box and maybe send some to anyone who needs them Thnx again! Cheers, Jeroen

    Thnx Martin, Will do. Here's the finished boss. Need to check some more ref's. Not sure whether the smallest revolver cilinder was flush with the bigger one or not.

    Hi Guys, While trying to finish my DVII build, I'm also gathering intel and AM for this build. I ordered a wooden prop from Doug Craner, but will make the Garuda prop boss myself. I'm making the boss in 3D and will have it 3D printed. Here's what it should turn out like: Notice the securing wire going to the top right bolt? Here's where I'm at. Getting there. I'm making the back plate a little bit thicker. This will make the 3d model a bit sturdier, but i will sand it down thinner when it arrives
  23. JeroenPeters
    Wow/... I'd build one...
  24. JeroenPeters
    Really Nice! The green looks good to me. You're showing the the old Hasegawa kit can still be turned into a great model!
  25. JeroenPeters
    Absolutely stunning.... Wow...
