NYLON GAG MK 1 - FINISHED

[The Nylon Gag]

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Allo Peeps,

Thanks so much for the comments.

Been away from the bench for a few days because of my 10 year wedding anniversary, i organized a surprise party for my beautiful wife, she had no clue, everything worked out perfectly it was a very very special evening.

BUT, enough of that, back to the build.
Added tubing and detail to the top and inside of the fairings, the pieces with wires are actually small connectors from an old video camera i dissasembled.

Pix ;D









Then decided to add an air brake/stearing assembly to the outside of the fairings









Assembled some actuator greeblies.





Added various styrene shapes.



Assembled the actuators with the air brakes









Not sure of whats next, but i'm sure it will come to me.

Just a quick shot from my party.
My wife in her original wedding dress and me in a suit, not something you see everyday. ;D



Thanks for stopping by
Your comments are most welcome

Love the detailing Gag, where did you get the metal rods for the actuators? I could use something like them for my Falcon's.

Fairly new to this site, and just spotted your thread. Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary. Very nice scratch build, i am a particular fan of the rocket, jet thingies youve made (they look like a cross between a ram jet and a rocket). Love the bucket load of greeblies all over them. I think the paint job is great, the multiple metallic colours really helps sell the realism. Keep those pics
coming, im eager to see more.

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Ello folks,
Been off posting on the site for a while because i found i was loosing bench time by looking at everybody else's builds for the first hour then i had to figure out what i wanted to do then it was time for bed and i had done diddly squat. So for the last two weeks i have focused on me fairing details.

Before we look at my progress pix i just wanted to say WOW , 6000 views, over 250 comments and so much positive interest, it makes me feel real good and full of enthusiasm to continue, just to see all the comments from all over the world, thank you so much friends it realy is appreciated.

Love the detailing Gag, where did you get the metal rods for the actuators? I could use something like them for my Falcon's.

J, don't tell anybody but i 'borrowed' them from the scrap bins at work, if you PM me your address i will see if i can get you a handfull?

So on with the show, are you sitting comfortably, ......good, then i'll begin, PIX

I cut various detail stuff from stock styrene





Added a small external exhaust port



Then i started to scribe panel lines on the bottom half, i didn't know if i was going to panel this with sheet or scribe, i went for scribe, for a first attempt ever, i think its not too bad.



Then i did the top, this didn't go quite as smoothly, this is the best picture i have, you ain't seeing the others, i'm not so good with the curved surfaces, i'm gunna hope that my mistakes are covered by the primer a bit?



Added some external panels to the front and top profile with 1/2mm sheet styrene and a bit of PE










Added more detail with 'T' and 'L' shaped styrene to the inside of these additional external panels



Gave them all a nice taper.



Relined the insides with 1/2mm sheet syrene, filled the corners with super glue and baking soda, sanded smooth



Added cooling rods to the inside of the fairing



Gave them all a chamfer then cleaned them up





Added detail



Then did the same with the sides





And thats about it, currently blending the inside edges with the side cooling pipes.

Thank for stopping by

Take it squeezy friends, till next time
