Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Thanks gag, that did answer my question. I was thinking you had planned this out extensively in some CAD environment, but doing it off the cuff makes it even more sweet. Dig that video...very cool toy! ;D

Mr C. Dweller
My brother is doing a CAD drawing for me as we speak that is what all the numbers you can see on the wing surfaces, they are the dimensions in MM.
He is doing a CAD course and he said he was bored of the test pieces so i gave him the challenge of doing a 3D rendering and a full set of drawings of the MK1. So, hopefully i will have those to show you sometime.
Thanks for the positive comments guys ;D

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Morning Everyone,
Thank you so much for your comments, I really appreciate you stopping by and leaving me a message, thanks buddies. ;D
Well after working on the design for the main hydraulic actuators for the flaps it was onto the airbrake actuators.
Wanted to make them a bit smaller, with a different design from the main ones, most of my time was spent experimenting, constructing, adjusting and fabricating quite a few sets of actuators.
I also positioned a brace with a central pivot for the airbrake actuators to attach to.
Used small diameter bar to make braces for the back of the wings, then trimmed and sanded them.
Made a smaller airbrake actuator for the small fixed side wings, very little room to work in this area.
Started on a small wiring hub for the back section, will be adding more details to this later on.
This is where i'm currently at, I feel like i've made very little progress in the last few weeks, the planning process is very slow sometimes and you just have to be patient and try lots of different options then all of a sudden something clicks into place and then that gives you another idea, then another and then your off and running again, but i think i will have to make some various detail pieces as i don't seem to be finding what i need in my bits box.
Going to add more wiring and pipe lines next.
I might have to buy a few more donor kits if i can't make it work with what i've got, but we shall see.
Take care

Gag this is great. Like the guys said above don't ever stop. Just keep posting updates until a nurse has to change your diapers.

"There's no crying in modeling", swearing, spitting, bleeding, muttering and mumbling sure, but definately "No crying". ;D
Thank you guys for stopping by and giving your positive feed back, it is what drives me forward with this build.
Soooooooo, What's it been all about then. I've been doing alot of thinking about my details this week, yes the smell of burning rubber was coming from me. ;D
At the start of the week I really couldn't seem to make anything 'go' together on the back of the wings, then one idea came then another and another and we were off and running again.
The starting point was this little vent
Then I added a few more details
Then it was just one idea after another, the cabling came first
Added other smaller assemblies until the whole area took shape.
I used some bendy straws and various styrene tubing for the main fuel line delivery assembly
Added an additional control box as one of the destinations for some wires and figured out the paths of the actuator control lines.
i also made a heat shield for the main fuel delivery line
I then gave the actuators a coat of black primer and then a crome silver top coat.
Added some more details to fill gaps in the back area
I then put both rear detail panels on the back of the ship to see what it looked like. I'm very pleased with it.
And thats about as far as i've got.
Still more detailing to do on the rear panels but I've been having a serious shortage of donor kits this week, then on Wednesday a member from TheRPF contacted me and donated 5 various scale tank models to my build, very generous of him. He said he added some extras in the parcel along with the tanks, it's like Secret Santa, very excited to see what he's sent me. I'll keep you posted. Its nice to know that there are still good guys left in the world, he wouldn't take anything for them in return, what a nice bloke.
I'm sending him a little something on Monday.
Thanks for stopping by folks

Dude the guy took a bullet for you! I won't be retiring for another 15 years. You think you can make this project last that long?

I think there is a strong possibility that he could stretch this mother out another 15+ years.
The Devil is in the details, and this is the ship from Hell.....I, of course, mean that in the nicest way possible.
;D ;D ;D
