Evenin,

Quick photo update, installed the tubs in the wings, made greeblie tub for the 'backbone of the ship. Will install vents over this on top of the wings.

Enjoy, comments please.



















Lost my mojo a bit at the moment, had a car crash, i'm fine but it shook me up a bit and killed my truck and all because of some other guys road rage, i juist love driving in Miami.
At 6am its like Beggers Canyon on a busy school day, with drivers who do their driving test in a parking lot, i kid you not.

Any hoo, enough of my gripe's,

Don't worry be happy ;D

I know this thing is big but when you see the
size of the detail assemblies, you really get
the idea of how big it is! Looking excellent
sorry to hear about the accident glad your ok!

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Nice work on the greeblies!

Sorry to hear about the accident. I live in a college town, and there are usually two things going on. Students on their phones, and old people driving well under the speed limit. When the mix the results are interesting.....

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Damn, sorry to hear about the accident and loved the Beggar's Canyon reference also. There's a section of IH-10 here in San Antonio that I have been calling Beggar's Canyon for a couple of years now..Glad to see someone else has put the reference to good use.

I am totally envious of your scratch building techniques. I wish I had that ability, but everything that I have tried ends up looking as bad as Mickey Rourke's face.

A Very Good Evening to my visiting Herd bretheren ;D


Thank you so much for your kind words, it means alot that you take the time to comment

Got a Major Mojo Boost ;D from all the positive posts so i've forged ahead with the back spine section.

First i had to cut the internal wing supports away so the tub would fit.



Made a piece for the back bone with cut out for the tub to show thru.



Made a frame



Cut some vent supports



Glued in position and sanded to length.



Glue vanes.







Make additional frame around the vents.



And in position



Thats it for tonight,

Thanks for stopping by, comments welcome

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

What is happening my Heardies , ;D

Thank you so much for your comments, i really appreciate you taking the time to comment ;D

Had quite a productive week,
tried to take my time on the airlock,
cuz i wanted it to look like it would work,
Used some tank suspension bits and a few motorbike bits.
I'm quite happy with it. ;D

What do you guys think?

First i made a box,





I used a piece from some swimming pool pump accessories as my actual airlock/door frame assembly.



Positioned the springs together with the airlock/door frame,



Made a door,



Added some details,









Put the assembly in the box and added frame work around the outside,



Added the side bits and an outer frame work,





And in its final position,



And finally, the money shot ;D wet primer, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm primer,







Will probably add some lighting later, also this is going to be the access point on the bottom, so it will be held in place with magnets.

Thanks for stopping by,
comments welcome and much appreciated

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Tried to check the first steps on your excellent work, the pictures seemed to be gone... What happened ?

 

[Igard]

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Amazing pics mate! You make this looks so easy. What strikes me is how sharp and clean everything is.

Who needs a chopper?

And why do see the Union Jack when I look at that door?
