Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 6, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 6, 2015 Hi Guys, Here's the forward jig 3D printed. This time in white flexible Polished plastic. Waaaaaaay better than the plain white flexible it had the read jig printed in. 4
Administrators James H Posted August 6, 2015 Administrators Posted August 6, 2015 Dammit! I suppose I should post some progress too? Love that printed cradle
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 17, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 17, 2015 Ok ok! With the Mossie out of the way I started cutting resin. Since I'm only sharing the cockpit details with you guys and most of it won't be visible through the top canopy I won't bother replacing the MG17's. However I will extend them more to the rear since the gun breaches are missing... The MG151 gun however is very visible, so I cut out the entire centre resin section with the MG151 breach and replaced it with a fresh more detailed Aires one. 3
Administrators James H Posted August 17, 2015 Administrators Posted August 17, 2015 Much better. AIMS looks like it was made of snow, then left in a warm room for an hour.
Wumm Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Wot... You are a modelling machine. You mean, like a 3D printer? 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 20, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 20, 2015 Hehe, Here's some old school scratching. Added the MG17 breeches and the first wiring. 4
AlgiaNick Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Incredible details!!! Congartulations!!! You gave me ideas to use a 3D printer for my works!!! Keep going on...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 22, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 22, 2015 Cheers Nick! Made a little bit of progress today. Revell has the wing roots moulded to the fuselage. Had to cut them off and fill the holes with green card. And what a lovely sound to hear overhead when cutting plastic! 3
Administrators James H Posted August 22, 2015 Administrators Posted August 22, 2015 I see you're getting to the root of the problem? The first time we'll have seen a SPaR for ages here! 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 23, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 23, 2015 Using the Kagero 1/32 drawings for the wing root detail. Need to describe. Rivet. Then add the details. 3
Administrators James H Posted August 23, 2015 Administrators Posted August 23, 2015 Can't wait to see this under some primer, brining it all together. Trust you to be different! 1
Wingco57 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Noise, how are you going to tackle the complicated fuselage/wingspar screw fittings? Cees
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 24, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 24, 2015 Noise, how are you going to tackle the complicated fuselage/wingspar screw fittings? Cees I was thinking of getting sailboat model pulleys. They seam to have the right shape. Otherwise I'll just scratch them. Should be do-able.. 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 29, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 29, 2015 Ok. This was a head scratcher. I needed to make the round knuckle joints that connect the wings to the fuselage. 4 on each side. Finally found a 4mm diameter thick tube. Sawed off thin pieces and put them in my Dremel. Sanded out the right contour. Also found a rod with exactly the right diameter that will run through the entire fuselage and will sit back 1mm in each knuckle joint.
Administrators James H Posted August 29, 2015 Administrators Posted August 29, 2015 That is sick. You are a very sick individual, and you know it! Better than I ever thought it could be, even with your genius
Wingco57 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Very nice solution, well done. That broodje bal and the excellent company (ahum) today really freed your creatieve juices. Cees 1
kahunaminor Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Straight to the pool room! Great work! Regards,
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 31, 2015 Author Administrators Posted August 31, 2015 Cheers guys! (And a special thank you Cees ) Here's what i intend to do with the joints: 3
