1/1 Revi16 restoration

[JeroenPeters]

Another side project. Got this revi16 crash relic with missing half of it’s body. Drew these parts in 3D and printed them.

Now that's pretty cool Jeroen

Here we go

 

[JeroenPeters]

I have some technical drawings and drew a 3d model of the top lense. Printed it in transparent resin and it fits like a glove. Now to polish it and treat it with a heat gun to make it crystal clear.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Printed the transparent glass too. Now for a lot of polishing and after care to get it properly transparent 

 

[JeroenPeters]

Assembling and sanding the box. Made a hinge from copper rod.

wow

 

[JeroenPeters]

Figured life is too short for polishing and had the clear glass lasered from acrylic transparent plastic. Only need to sand the edge in an angle.

First paint

Wow, that looks brilliant Jeroen. If I didn't know, I don't think I'd be able to tell that wasn't 100% original.

[BlrwestSiR]

Unreal. Can't tell the resin from the real.parts. 

So, I guess this mean you're going to start 3D printing a 1/1 cockpit now? 

 

[JeroenPeters]

Done. Bought a 5cm diameter lense to fit snuggly in the gunsight. Ready for the cabinet.

 

[GusMac]

Looks great. Something different for the display case.
