Re: NYLON GAG MK 1?

Afternoon Herdsters,

Thanks again for all the positive feedback, it really is very encouraging.

So whats been happening, well, Thursday evening i dislocated my shoulder (again, thats 3 times) swatting a fly, so have done a limited amount of work on the MK1 this weekend. But the good news is i am going to have surgery on the 4th of October, that should sort me out a bit. I've already had it done on the left in 2001.

But enough of me grizzlin 'n' moanin, on with the show, PIX

First, let me show you a few pictures of the 95% completed fairings from the video.

This is the outside edge, the picture was taken outside in natural light

[ATTACH=full]33567[/ATTACH]

This is with the fairings attached to the main body and with the engines and front intakes in position

[ATTACH=full]33568[/ATTACH]

And the front intake

[ATTACH=full]33569[/ATTACH]

This is my favourite shot from underneath, this little beast looks like its got a wee bit of power behind it.

[ATTACH=full]33570[/ATTACH]

And from the front

[ATTACH=full]33571[/ATTACH]

I then concentrated on the front underside navigation and communications array, this will be under the cockpit in the front

Made this little do-dad but it didn't fit somehow, so i decided it would be useful later on as the laser load guide sensor for the back end of the ship.

Started the navi/com array with my usual tub and a piece from the Federation STAP model

[ATTACH=full]33573[/ATTACH]

Added wires and other details, trying to make it look feesable and interesting

[ATTACH=full]33574[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=full]33575[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=full]33576[/ATTACH]

I love this front radar dish, its made from an eye washer cup with half a toy Darth Maul light saber as the receiver inside

[ATTACH=full]33577[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=full]33578[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=full]33579[/ATTACH]

Then a layer of dark grey primer and a top coat of flat aluminium and the two external side pieces that will
(hopefull) intergrate easily into the existing bodywork

[ATTACH=full]33580[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=full]33581[/ATTACH]

And finally with two supports for additional antennas 'n' stuff

[ATTACH=full]33582[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=full]33583[/ATTACH]

And thats where i'm at now, trying to figure out the location of a few more antenna pylons,
cuz you can never have enough antenna's

Thanks for stopping by, as all ways comments welcome
