Hs129B2/R3

[JeroenPeters]

Just noticed I screwed up with the screws. Fixed.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Succes. The pressure air tanks came out nice. 
 

[KevinM]

You have a small model going on just there Jeroen

[JeroenPeters]

Getting there. Basic colours are on. Needs more wiring and a few more details.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Aaand the mk103 gun is done. Printed another piece. A connector box at the rear that houses a number of wires. Reference from the proper angle is scarce.

also printed a shitload of hatches in various shapes. You cannoot scratch this kind of detail.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Got a new 3D printer. Old 4k one on the right, new 12k one on the left.

 

[Mo_GSP]

Please let me know how you like the new 12k printer. I'm using the Phrozen sonic mini 8k and on the fence on getting a 12k. Nice work! Those 3d parts really add to a build 

[JeroenPeters]

This will be a great little test for the new printer. The Ratier 1527/1528 prop with the spinner removed shows this intricate prop hub.

Diameter will be 1cm.

 

[JeroenPeters]

First prints. Also designed a new spinner backplate since the ZM one lacks all detail.

Jeroen, the little I’ve read on resin printers is that resin, washing, curing etc is time consuming. Are the reel type PLA printers, are they not as good?

As far as i know PLA printers are great for printing household objects and engineering / industrial design mock ups. There is a reason model companies all use resin printers for small detail prints. You simply can’t match the detail in resin with PLA.

[JeroenPeters]

Ps. It takes me about 30 mins to draw up a part in 3d and approx. 1 hour to print it. I do however have a lot of failed prints, but theyre all to blame on my inexperience.

[JeroenPeters]

This should do

 

[JeroenPeters]

Started painting the props. One prop will have damage as per this photo i found.

 

[GazzaS]

Amazing stuff.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Adding rivets to the engine covers.

not much longer before paint…

 

[harv]

Smashing!!..harv 

[JeroenPeters]

Adding wires to the guns as per reference photo’s. It’s slow going but the painting stage is getting closer.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Here we go. First paint is on. Semi gloss black marbling. Gives me a good idea of small imperfections too.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Tedious work!

 

[JeroenPeters]

Almost done with the marbled base coat. Polishing the whole thing now creates some nice contrasts.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Getting there

 

[shark64]

Perfect paint job
