Eric - nice find. Those wing well bits have been a real chore. Guy, your wings are a model unto themselves, very nicely done.

Cheers Allan, yeh that was a land mark by Eric today, just need a few more and we'll nearly be there for the wells, never thought it!!! I can highly recommend making in them, they really are a great edition even without the hulls :), Theres a ton of room for re working with some of my cuts but I'm not going to get too anal with the wings as I can't believe I actually made em and it all fell into place
 
Hi Guy,

No problem :) I just wanted to contribute for this epic because it's a big pleasure to see your building.

Cheers.
Eric.
 
Anyone up for doing some laser cutting for me? Just need rings in 1.5 or 2 mm styrene.

34 mm diameter with a 15mm hole x 4
55mm diameter with a 34 mm hole x 2
55 mm diameter disc x 2 with centre mark

I've no drawing skills but think these are as basic as it gets? Would love some help if anyone is up for it?

PM me if u still need some rings cut.

Felix
 
I xould have like to help you Guy ! If you like circles that are not... circles lol Well my circles are a bit better now though, let me know ! (but I cant beat Felix's CNC :()
 
Looking great Guy !

After all, once built, those wings are rock solid, not as delicate as one would think at the first glance !
 
Looking nice but no dice, back to the drawing board!!!! But at least I know how to build it now and it was nice to do some vac forming again, I'm getting the hang of it now!!! Sort of!!!!

Hey Guy,

Looks great radar dish :)

I'm also planning to build my S1 ASAP.
If you don't mind, please can you advice me for the Porsche kit?
I want to know where the kit is used? As far as I know, the main body, doors and the chrome wheel were used for S1?

Thanks.
Eric.

Thanks Eric,
Smooth ! That's very clean Guy. Was the whole radar vacformed ? Or just the center insert ?

I'd say its all vac formed,

I formed mine using a Plastruct dished dome, VHD-600. The cutout is actually a section that is removed from the formed part. It's parallel on the outer rim and sectioned (like pie pieces) on the inner rim.
