Thanks for the comments guys, i realy appreciate you stopping by

SSSSSSSSSSooooooooooooo Phase 2.0

Wha-zit-all-about-then?

PIX

Split and tapered a 1" PVC tube, hot glued it to me wine bottle gift tube, gave it a top and a two sides, tape just for drying purposes



Rough cleaned edges, will fill later





used same PVC pipe to make 4 front inside corner pieces



Made inside corner supports



Rough lined the inside



Added another layer, will be filled and finished later when i've finalized the internals final positions



Shaped the back edge of the engine tube



Engine internals, including, Mouth wash bottle cap, laundry detergent cap, cheap $4 lantern from local supermarket, manditory Vodka bottle pouring spout, industrial paper roll end thingies, desktop pen and pencil holder and my old faithful swimming pool pump accesories.



First light test, with everything dryfit.



Rear nozzle basic components



Light fittings assembled



Lantern reflectors and voddy pouring things in position



Let there be light



Most of the internals are shaped and cleaned up, but now they require details and paint.
Still plenty more to do, might get another update in before the end of the weekend so stay tuned

Comments welcome

Thanks for stopping by

Re: NYLON GAG MK 2.0?

Evenin Shakers'n'makers,

The video was taken to show the guy at work, who helped me with the wiring, what it was all about.

It was taken on my IPod so that explains the crappy quality. I Will try to post some short video updates but don't expect anything like the content or quality of the rest of you guys.

Progress has been painfully slow the last few weeks as i have had some trouble finalising the design of the engine intakes but i pushed thru and am satisfied with the results.

So with out further waffel,

PIX

This is the paper roll thingy cut out on the back with support rods glued in position.



This is the inside of the mouth wash bottle cap with added half round styrene and some other greeblie whotsits, these will go inside the front of the intake tube assembly on the back of the paper roll thingy



Everything assembled and glued into the front intake tube.



Mmmmmmmmmmmm primer.



These mouthwash bottle caps are for the very front of the intake tube on the outside, this is just a dry fit with the deflector vanes in position



The support rods were shortened and the deflector vanes glued and taped in position





Then constructed the outside deflectors to tie it all together and give a real tunnel effect, this took friggin forever to get right





With the tape removed the corners sanded it was still a bit rough, so i added a bit of 90 degree angle styrene on the corners but forgot to take a picture



And finally another Mmmmmmmmmmmmm primer moment





Now i'm working on finishing the outer fairing tubes for the engines

But thats for another day

Comments welcome and appreciated
