Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?


Sup Peepsters,


  Thanks for the comments guys it means alot ;D, i find it very motivational to log on and see your comments plus the insperation i get from all of the other builds on this forum.


 Enough waffle, (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm waffles) I re-did the nasty side pieces on the top, they were too cracked up for my taste. The new ones also cracked but its not as bad as before plus i re-shaped them a bit and now they fit better. I think i will be able to cover up the cracks later with greeblies. I'm making this up as i go along you know.??!!?? Well, i have a basic vision of what the various parts should look like but as for specifics, i'm fly'in blind on this one. Is that bad, should i have a more detailed plan? Half the fun for me as an engineer loves solving the problems as i go, i'm havin so much fun. Sorry more waffel (mmmmmmmm-oh stop it?)


Everything in position.

I then started filling in the back section, i plan to put a 'Towing Hitch Stabilization Device' (well thats what i'm gunna call it) on this back face, i have designed a new type of hitch that i think would be some what feezable in 500+ years time on a space tug/delivery truck thinga-ma-jig.

I painted the side intakes on the front winglets. I realy suck at painting so this might get ugly folks.!!!!

The overspray was caused by me having to vary the angle of the airbrush to hit all the inside surfaces, well thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it! I just noticed that i missed a spot or 3 (I really really suck at painting), i knew i should of painted them before installing them , but knowing me the mess with black superglue finger prints all over the shop would not of been good look for this ship. I can all ways give it another coat of paint later. There's always later.


Thats all for tonight, sorry its a long one, i'm still thinking about my lights, the positioning and insallation methods i'm gunna use. Any ideas would be most welcome?


As always, thanks for looking and comments always welcome.


Cheers,


The McGagster.
