Re: Slave-1
Thanks guys.....:thumbsup
I got my UC-30 and clay so back to work.....
I forgot to drill the holes.........so I just used some clay
to hold the screws for the UC-30
I used some plastic to make a form to hold the cement
at the bottom.
Another form to hold the cement in on the slant.....
The halves separated themselves they were just spot glued.....
I will fill in the rest with the clay.
Thanks guys.....:thumbsup

Guys before this gets all bent out of shape, please calm down, Lee's comments are and were directed at me not anyone else. I've had a 3D plan in the works for a while and Lee has been on at me to do it old school by eye and by hand. My time away with work has bummed me out and have resorted to thinking about sourcing 3D work in a vain attempt to still feel like I'm involved with the hobby..... Lee has been big in talking me out of it as he knows I have the skills but not the patience. So please dont jump on this so quick as you have as it was Lee, digging at me but as a mate.
I moaned about cnc routers for years as a Luthier as I built everything by hand, Lee knows this and even tried this against me to do the work off my own bench. So its not an attack on anyone but more on technology over hand skills.

Re: Slave-1
Cooking is easier at least you can eat your mistakes! LOL
Look at this.....humpty lumpty sat on the wall...
Here is the front skirt....
I drilled some holes in the fender so the UC30 would grab in there.
I wanted to flow some air through the part when
I formed it, so I just pushed these rods in as it
set up.We will see how this works when the time comes.
The rods are threaded at the end and I said to
myself "You know that's going to be a problem
getting these out." It was they weren't coming
out by hand but I fixed that!
So all the parts are filled they all need
a lot of sanding minus the one hull half
and rear skirt.

You have to use thick styrene. To support the rest of the structure. Anything thinner is just wortheless like a peice of paper.
