Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
I just don't know what he's gonna do after he finishes this beast....Of course that won't be until Summer 2014.
I am guessing he'd be taking some sort of sabbatical.... I mean, this build has been such a part of his life for almost two years now...I think there maybe some serious withdrawal when it's done....
(I am not sure of the actual time spent on this build....I just know it seems like a helluva long time)
It IS AWESOME and packs Megatons of detail that not even the best studio models had!
Yup, I hit THAT wall almost a year ago.stretch said:

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?
Evenin all,
Thank you so much for your kind words guys, I realy appreciate you stopping by and commenting it means alot to me so, Thanks everyone.
Well, on with the cockpit today.
It was all about the details, wiring and displays.
The main challenge was the heads up display, i wasn't sure if my idea would work.....?
Lets have a look.
PIX
Did a quick light test of the underwalkway lighting before gluing it in place. I had to open up two new holes either side of the walk way to accomodate the wires. In their original position the walkway wouldin't sit down correctly
Tested the lights in the side pod instrument panels, i will fill the holes with various colours later, the fiber optics will be all flashing, i hope. :
Added side details behind the seating area on both sides
Quick test fit
Then i started on the heads up display projector unit. Added heatshrink as a light block
Glued the screen in position on the accessories rail, i covered it in masking tape to protect its surface, it will eventually have a translucent decal applied later, this took me alot of time to get the positioning correct. The LED had to be the correct depth inside the square tube to 'project' a correct size square to fit the screen size.
Fitted two smaller drop down displays/control boxes.
HUD light test.
Projector in position, it works perfectly. I'm so chuffed right now. ;D
Another control box with floppy disc material behind the PE
Ready for masking then on to..........primer.
Test fit with Kiko, my pilot (my father-in-law calls me Kiko, don't ask me why cuz i don't know)
Masked everything up and now, you guessed it, Primer, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer
Thats all so far, hopefully i will get some more up later in the weekend.
Next is the corridor section of the cockpit.
Take care
