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

[JeroenPeters]

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.

 

[Count0]

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.

 

[JeroenPeters]

First paint

 

[GusMac]

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?
