Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Hi,

I haven't nailed a final, final price yet. It was around the $370 mark plus shipping ( though I'm trying to keep the weight as low as I can)

I have to do a final tally of costs based on the proposed number of units I hope to shift, plus take into account how much the proposed decals will be which I have no clue about yet. I'm expecting it to end up around the $380-390 mark at most. I think for something this big with two pilots and 4 moveable airflaps that's a fair price point. Hope you guys agree?

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

That price sounds very reasonable.

And I'm in for just one.

Wow. What an honor.

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Glad I'm in the ballpark re costs. Needless to say I haven't charged on all my time on this or it would be alot more! - as long as I'm doing this stuff on top of other work rather than trying to gain a living wage from it I can afford to subsidise things a bit. Downside is that it takes a whole lot longer as it needs to be done in spare time etc.

Anyway, I'll confirm final costs once I've cast up a full kit and got the decals nailed.

Stay tuned...for casting updates

As always, you generosity with the project is wildly appreciated. I'm sure I speak for many when I say, I have the utmost respect and admiration for your talent, kit and professionalism.

Re: Echo Station 57, we're on our way....slowly

Thank you for your kind words, very much appreciated. I just hope I don't let you guys down at the last hurdle...got a fair bit more to sort before I'm finished.

Hi,

Just a quick couple of pics to show a few more test casts. I'm just shooting some resin into the moulds to see where the bugs are and get a feel for how much hand working the resin needs to get the air bubbles worked out etc. I'll have some more moulds ready to test in the next week or so.
