Flying HK, scratch built paper model.

[Metalalien]

Had trouble with thin runny silicone working it's way under the edges of the paper. Actually have to rebuild the engine because of this... Tried to do the tail using a much thicker batch.

Thicker silicone definitely works better, but it still worked it's way under some of the edges of the paper. You can see the original suffered some damage when it was removed and the cast has slight damage anywhere a paper edge meets another. Still I could probably hide it as battle damage or something.

Before I do the other parts I am going to go back and try my best to seal them up...

Still needs to be trimmed but here you go..

Yeah, I just came across it, figured it'd be useful for you.

Alright after rebuilding the engine I was able to get a halfway decent mold from it. So now the tail fin and engines are in resin. Gotta keep at it. Seal up the body and tail so I can do those.

Man, this is looking more awesome every time you post new pictures.

Very inspiring. A pity to blow it up :cry

Finally molded the body of the HK. Wasn't easy very odd shape to do as one piece. Put some paint on there too. I decided I like the dirty battle hardened look for two reasons. One I just think it looks cooler but it also hides some casting flaws or at least makes those look like battle damage. All I have left to mold is the tail boom and the nose cowl, just waiting on more silicone to arrive. Maybe by the middle of the week and then the HK will be done. (other than final details like lights)

That's some fantastic work!!!!

 

[Metalalien]

Thanks Hollywood, at least it is coming out "good enough" Engines have paint now.

 

[CB2001]

Nice! This thing looks like its progressing very well.

 

[Metalalien]

Yea I'm going to repair a few spots on the mold and cast another body and see if I can get a better one. Good thing is that even the bad ones will get used. The whole point was to have spares to blow up.

First landing gear is on.. I just used hotglue to hold it on... When the tail boom is molded another set of gear will go on that...

 

[CB2001]

Nice!

All I have left on the HK is to do the rear landing gear (same mold as the front) and the nose cowl. After that it will just be the final touches like final paint and lights.
