Re: Slave-1
Well don't get me wrong you won't mistake it for a x-wing....LOL
But if you really look at the filming mini you can see the difference,
the fenders really jump out to me they just look like they squat
more on the mini.None of that bothers me though I wanted one
and I built it from start to end, that's where i find the satisfaction.
The other part of the reason it doesn't look like the mini more is
simply because I am lazy......yup lazy and impatient! LOL Like the
nose wrap piece on the front I made the pattern for it. But I couldn't
be bothered to fit it with the gap in there. I think that's stupid so I
didn't bother with it that way plus as I said .....I am lazy!
When your sitting there making every part yourself, your not
not in a rah rah mind set, because it's work and it's a lot
of work! Yea you enjoy it but things change as soon as you
have a problem or have to start over. Those feelings are different
than the ones you started with, because you realize if you want it
you have to concentrate every time you sit down to it. I wouldn't
say the concentration over powers the joy of building it, but it just
puts the joy on hold or in perspective. For me i can't sit down and try
to be conscience of "how much fun his is" and concentrate the way I
need. And at some point you have to realize if you want to build it,
your not going to get it done by just having "fun with it" because at
some point it's just not fun. It's work and you have to be ready to
work to get it done. When you have to remake a part or reform
something or start over.....that's just work that's not fun. You
have to know why you do this stuff in those moments....if you
don't have the answer that's when you quit. The answer for me
is not that it's fun because there are more un-fun moments
for me. The answer for me is because it's a challenge I accept
the challenge that's what runs through my mind.....when I want to
quit.

Re: Slave-1
Agreed Al, I don't think Lazy is a way Mike can even consider describing himself, its your laziness that got you this far Mike, thats some serious Laziness in front of us all right there. YOu know me and I'm going to do my best to work it to the studio model but you also know I'm going to make it work to the best ability I can, you work will shine like mad no matter how it ends up...... Slave 2 will live soon enough .....cant wait to see more and learn more and see you paint this beauty

Re: Slave-1
Thanks Guy .....I was feeling even more lazy today I got up
at 10 am I mean I work until midnight, but I am usually up
by 8am anyway that's pretty lazy for me! LOL
I did work on getting the model to sit flat on the
landing skirts. And I worked a little on the engine
cowling i want to work into it. I am going to just
detail the bottom on the fly, not having the parts
really doesn't bother me.LOL Plus I want to keep
moving along with it.
So I went and pulled two more fenders and fitted
them together, then I cut down their height.
Then I dremeled out the insides...
Next I tested it to find out if I had the clearance .......NOT
so I had to cut it down more until it would allow the landing
skirts to sit flat all the way around.
Here is a pic of the cowling just taped on, and a few other ones.....
And a few of the flat sanding....

Re: Slave-1
There are a few things about the model that are errking
me. In the 5th picture you can see the angels are way off
where the breaks are in the skirt on each side. I have to
fix that it's getting on my nerves every time I look at that
side!! LOL And I need to fill in where the wrap around nose
piece is attached, I may actually add another one to thicken
it a bit, as I didn't leave the gap in there like the filming mini.

Re: Slave-1
Looks bloody great to me Michael, as i said, its cool to see you just flying with it and making it your own, the possibilities on the detailing and paint job are limitless now for you!
Hmm, i wonder if you can get a lit and detailed cargo hold in there for the sake of a killer docked Dio.........

Re: Slave-1
Haha awesome idea for the engine cowling Mike !
Will you build a Porsche plug to vacform the fenders and bumps ? You could carve it in wood and have a nice wooden Porsche to display !
Just a -dumb- idea

Re: Slave-1
Wow def to lazy for that Lee.....great idea though!!!
That would be awesome to display, but I think I would
have had to start that before the rear landing skirt was
on. You would really have to work some nice detail right
up to the bulkhead before the fender. You think about it
and it's like "Yea I will just make another one and do that" Then
you think about the work and you say....."Ah yea maybe not!" LOL
You guys will have to do it you're starting fresh! :lol

Re: Slave-1
I took the cowling and used it as a template and cut out
the openings for the engines i will light.
Then I made a backing plate and cut two circles out
to house the Saturn V parts I would use a carriers
for the lamps. I made sure to use a size just a little
smaller so they wouldn't slip through.
This is how it looks on the inside...
Out side view.....
This is a cut out I am going to make, recess it and put
some kind of plumbing in there.

Re: Slave-1
I was looking for some big manifold chunky
contraption to fit in that cut out. I found some
plumbing parts at work laying in scrap. I really
am hell bent on getting this in there because I
like it. Not sure what configuration yet, but
getting the recess bulit in will have to come
first.

In the spirit of what ILM did. The use of found items integrated into the build is exactly what they would do. Layer the parts. Add paint and youll have a great looking model.
