- Thread starter TheNylonGag
- Start date
Ello,
Well, what can i say.
Squeezed a few hours in
Had to adapt a few things,
But
I made some progress
Ready, is everyone in, this is a small update, about 10,1/2 hours at the bench
Lets go
During my sick time i spent some dough
10" Bench top pillar drill, 18 pcs hole saw set including arbour, 3 piece step drill set from 1/16" to 3/4" in 1/16" steps, including delivery.
Guess, go on guesss.
$93, thats 58 quid, for the lot.
Then i tidied up the cave
Then it was back to the Prometheus
Engines build up.
Cut out all pieces for the bottom nozzel assembly
Had to use sizzors instead of a knife
Did three sets
Top rings
Sides and top ring fitted and trimmed
Three done
Fiddled with this for a night and managed to fit the front wing
Outer nozzel covers
Rough Trimmed
Inners glued and basic shaped
Action shots
Thats about the story so far.
Just wanted to thenk all the people who supported me though my wrist malfunction
Your support and kind words ment alot to me.
Thank you friends

Even in their early stages, the engines look awesome.
Glad you're recovering well, and I look forward to more progress shots.
