Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.

That's a clever way to mass produce those aluminum support pieces!

Thanks, Analyzer-san. The next work was not good for mass produce.

Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.

Thanks, Ged-san!

Continuing to build the belly detail.

I thought it may need a slip-on flange on each bulkhead for the drive rods. I've tried several way to build it efficiently.
that was not so efficient but anyway.

A small tube in the center is a template.

Test fitting.

Look boring but more boring to build.

Thanks for looking! (yawning)

As ever, katsu-san, your attention to detail is ASTONISHING!

:O

Katsu-san, you've NEVER posted a boring picture. I love seeing the process as much as the results.

Thank you, Tom-san.

It's so hot everyday. Also, there's a hot news for me.
My daughter #2(zombie sculpture- succeeded a big deal. Sold a $100,000 diamond last week. I don't know who could pay that much for one single piece of stone. Anyway, she should be payed some bonus-I hope. Her success is my success! I will send her a catalog of 3D printer right away.

As always, awesome work. Haven't posted here in a while. Been busy working and also doing work on a short film for my family.

Hi! Michael-san, Thanks and how is your movie going? I always knew you have good talent for photographic things, too.

Thanks! The sure thing is I don't have any talent for success on ta business.


Here are some pics of progress.

I've tried to make some tube looks like a joint.

Isn't it seem like a fire extinguisher system? No?

This is it for today. A few more to go.

Thanks for looking!

Superb craftsmanship Katsu-san !

How do you prevent the aluminium (?) tube pieces from ‘collapsing/losing their shape’ when ( I’m assuming ) you roll them along the file when creating the indentation markings on them ?

Thanks, those alumynum tubes are rather strong enough for that.

 

[SmilingOtter]

Beautiful.

 

[Analyzer]

Excellent work as always!

I might have to borrow some of these techniques for the interior of my Republic Gunship!

 

[g0rb]

So awesome to see this taking shape Katsu-san! The attention to detail is awesome!

 

[Lamby]

Amazing work as usual Katsu-san - the fire-extinguisher system is a great detail.

Thank you,Lamby-san.

Larger pics show me some part need of touch up or redo. Also, need to add more accessories.
Then I build a pair of claw shaft to hug an AAV.
Just a thought but it will be interesting that this aircraft carries a modular cargo compartment.
Sometimes it carries a AAV or LAV, sometimes, a compartment of airborne unit, or combat command/medical center.
A compartment of dozen of Mk.82 slick bomb?

All of those are good ideas. So you should build all of them.

Uggg.... Mouth is a source of disaster.
