NYLON GAG MK 1 - FINISHED

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Evenin All,

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment guys, it really does motivate me to keep going.

So... rear cockpit hatch area bit.


Lets have a look, eyes down for a full house.

PIX


Made a door out of a trailer box and a round gun support plate with some other greeblies for the locking mechanism and a bit of PE on the side walls.

Added a square top beam to brace back from the seat assembly


Picture%2520083.jpg

Attached some control boxes to each side wall


Picture%2520089.jpg


Picture%2520088.jpg


Fabricated this half ring to fill the transition and support the side walls


Picture%2520091.jpg


Added the side walls and put these braces on the back side to strengthen the assembly


Picture%2520092.jpg


Fitted the half ring in position


Picture%2520093.jpg


Picture%2520094.jpg


Started filling in the over head are of the corridor


Picture%2520098.jpg


Picture%2520097.jpg


Picture%2520096.jpg


Drilled holes and installed overhead fiber optics for the corridor lighting

Also put two larger diameter fiber optics on the rear door, these will be attached to flashing LEDs.

Obviously these will be trimmed down after painting

Spent a few hours messing about with the wiring and finalising what goes where, the LEDs in the side pods
could be brighter but i want it to be subtle so maybe it will look better when its all assembled and i've cleaned all the holes out in the PE

I will be adding more details in the ceiling of the corridor next, overhead pipes and wiring, so stay tuned

Take care

Gag out ;D
 
Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

this is the next space shuttle for NASA !!!
what an amazing build i can't believe the amount of detail this thing is packing... BTW... are you some sort of aeronautical engineer ?? some of the parts you build resemble a lot to stuff I've seen in real aircraft..
I hope to see the next update soon, have fun !
 
Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

finally... you show us more of your glorious creation. i would like to use some of your techniques and apply them to the model i want to make. please tell me what scrap parts you use for detail.
 
Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

TheDeadRumors,
I believe that, if you go through all 40+ pages of this, you will find most of what you're looking for.
He's actually been quite good about sharing what he's been using for greebles and ideas.

Morning Peeps

Thanks for the comments friends,


Congratulations to everyone who finished their contest entries this year, I can't wait to see them all.
I'm sure the voting is going to be very difficult this year.
Then it will be time for one of my favourite highlights of the year, Boss Scott's winners video presentation.
I can't wait ;D
Good luck everyone.

Q is right Mr D Rumors, I have listed all the greeblie kits somewhere amongst these many pages ;D, most of the greeblies have come from two Tamiya 1/12th MotoGP bikes, 1/700th Revell ship and a few other 1/35th Tamiya tanks.
Plus, a buddy from TheRPF very kindly donated about nine tanks and a few other old sprues with odds and sods still attached in different scales, to the cause.

I've also used alot of styrene of different profiles , T , U , L bars and lots of different tube sizes, lots of various gauges of wire from old power cables, USB cables and AV cables. You can find useful pieces for details all over the place, one of my favourite parts is the Worchester sauce radar I made from the pouring spout and cap of the bottle.
Glad your enjoying this build as much as me

So, what have I been up to, lets have a look.

Finished the outside corridor details, added some bracing

PIX

Bent the bracing over and attached to the sides


Picture%2520106.jpg


Trimmed the ends off


Picture%2520108.jpg


Added some wires and tubing on the outside


Picture%2520111.jpg


Made a small detail panel to go under the Radar assembly, I used a bit of a circuit board, some tank greeblies and tube and wire


Picture%2520116.jpg


Little bit of primer, Mmmmmmm ;D


Picture%2520123.jpg


Started the radar surround top panel


Picture%2520117.jpg



Picture%2520118.jpg


Added details and a coat of primer to all the radar base pieces



Picture%2520125.jpg


Picture%2520120.jpg


Picture%2520126.jpg


I fixed a piece of conduit steel tubing to my bench so i have better access for painting and finishing the ship


Picture%2520127.jpg


I think most of the major building is finished, I have the cockpit canopy frame to figure out but thats pretty much it folks, so this is a good opportunity for a few beauty shots.


Picture%2520136.jpg


Picture%2520129.jpg


Picture%2520130.jpg



With the radar and cockpit assemblies in position, the radar will sit a bit lower on the final version



Picture%2520132.jpg

Now on to the canopy frame

Stay tuned my friends

Take care

Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Ello everyone,

Birthday weekend update ;D

Thank you all so much for your input, 20000 views, sorry i have no prize because i am in such awe of the responce to my little project.
I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to say hello, it means alot to me

So, birthday week, what did we accomplish,

Lets take a look,

This was something i was not looking forward to, the cockpit /canopy frame work.

I started to construct the frame using an alternative cockpit glass


Picture%2520166.jpg

I submurged some tubing in boiling water and formed it around a smaller diameter than i required


Picture%2520167.jpg

I then trimmed it to length and inserted the transition bar


Picture%2520169.jpg

I then conscructed the frame on the dummy glass dome


Picture%2520172.jpg


Picture%2520189.jpg


Picture%2520192.jpg

I assembled small end details


Picture%2520193.jpg


Picture%2520194.jpg


Picture%2520196.jpg

Added upper detail on the glass dome to hide a logo i could not remove


Picture%2520201.jpg

After much adjustment i finally got the cockpit dome and interior to fit as i wanted.


Picture%2520206.jpg


Picture%2520208.jpg


Picture%2520210.jpg

Thats all for now,

A quick video to show the over all effect

Canopy frame finished

Paint next

Stay tuned
