Got a little more done on the lower wing piece. Added some foam to widen the back half of the part. Also got another printed part for the hydraulics. Just needs a few kit parts glued on and this will be ready to mold.

Nothing like a good blaster at your side kid!
I love Betty!
one thing that will be so huge and looks so good respectful!
I see Al has found a way to incorporaate guns into modeling as a new tool insted of drilling a hole just shoot one out Lol!, Now I know what Mike was talking about Blasters Lol.
Lol. Yeah Ray. Ive got about 8 calibers to choose from so i can make a wide variety of holes.
Got a little more done on the lower wing section. Plus my laser cutter is here so ill be setting that up this weekend. More soon

You know, after reading though this entire thread in one sitting, I am disappointed that the Betty isn't done yet. :P That being said, I am glad it's not done yet because I live just up the road in Austin, and I'd love to see it first hand before it gets shipped to Dallas or Waco or wherever. You are doing some fantastic work, and I am humbled before your mastery of the craft!
I want to begin the donation activity for my airline ticket to go to Texas, and to look in person.
Engelnicht. well feel free to PM me and we can set up a time to come to SA.
Thanks Katsu. always welcome at my place.

i`m fruely impressed with your build mym8.its a master piece!please keep us posted on ya progress....thanks peza
Got a little done on the lower wing section. the part is Asymetrical so one side is cut a little bigger for kit parts.
Also got the laser up and running will be cutting parts tomorrow night. had to get all the software and adjustments for the laser going. and adjust all the print settings in Autocad. Not to bad once you read through all the directions..
and also picked up a vacuum pump and chamber. and started getting parts ready to mold. now that all thats done. need a shop clean again.
Thanks for looking.
Al

Laser looks bigger than I thought.

First cuts with the laser went great. drawing out some parts for the betty now. and also for the Sulaco. so hopefully by saturday will be able to cut some parts. Work has been crazy this week, we are filming a Discovery channel science show and hopefully it wraps up today and i can get back to a normal schedule.
