This has to be the best scratch build I have ever seen. Amazing detail and super crisp quality!

 

[Jamaicanmodels69]

Amazing Gagster you just never get tired, that paint

[Lamby]

The front wing design WIP is like reading an instruction manual!
Thanks for sharing your process, it's very informative.
As usual, your detailing is fantastic!

Evenin All,

Wow, thank you so much guys for the positive vibes man, we're looking groovy baby.

Enought of that,

Swazbeenoccurin then.

Slow, and I mean, Sloooooooow progress lately

Returned to the front wing to add a couple of end plates

























Made some small outer end plate elements














After much filling with super glue and using baking soda as a filler ended up with these























Finished





And dry fitted
















Then i moved on to the rear wing, the design is just a larger version of the front to start with, we will remove and add as we go.


Basic design







Cut out the basic shape






Separated










"tube" one adjoining edge,








Attach to the tube, your next piece in the wing sequence







and the next
















Tube one side and mark ready for a hinge assembly















I then moved on to the rear of the main body, put some spacers to fix the gap width of the side pods
















Improved the rear underside central profile















Started work on the upper rear profile















Added the first skin to the top of the engine exhaust fairings


















And that's about it,


See you soon


take care

Top wing element











Shaped the top element and side elements





Attached everything together





Drilled holes in the main wing



Drilled holes in the external wing element



Pinned with brass rod and dry assembled













Drilled the rear assembly to receive the wing














Then shaped and fitted the floor pan







Primered, Mmmmmmmmm

[The Nylon Gag]

A Very good evening to everyone,

Thanks for the well wishes and support my friends, it means a great deal to me that you guys are along for the ride. Doing much better now, visited the cardioligist this week and he explaned what I need to do to improve my health.

No salt, lower my colesterol (no more fry ups John, ??? , and I do love me a good fry up, hey, I'm English OK) and do some of that cardio vascular exercise stuff.

Time to break out the Time Trial Bike again me thinks. It's been a while. In my 20's I could regularly do a sub 23 minute 10 mile time trial, but I ain't 20 no more.

But anyhoo, so what's been happening on the bench.

Been a bit distracted these last few weeks planning for my next big project, will tell all soon, but as for the MK2, lets have a gander.



Its been fairly boring, fill, sand, fill, sand ,fill ,sand and repeat





























It's been the same thing for the rear wing, fill, sand fill, sand, break, repair, fill, sand, fill, sand,.......etc




















Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Primer





























And finally a few dry fit beauty pictures of the story so far.















































I'm now working on the top skin around the canopy, trying to get everything to open and close invisibly is prooving a bit tricky



But, that's next time

Stay tuned my friends

Take care
