Thank you for making this!
ORCA scratch build
- Thread starter flimzy
- Start date
Had to stop for a few days to work. Just jumped back on with more known dimensions like the life ring. drew up the top deck separately and then dropped it into the model. reduced the width of the ladder and the exhaust. although I have a new drawing of the hull shape it has been great leaving it out of the model to not worry about the deck and cabin fitting. Now the walls are leaning in with a slight radius in the roof which was slightly too wide on my old model now works great.
OK disclaimer I had a failed print and my filament printer need a service so changed my mine and went back to printing him normally. the problem
was cleaning the prints inside surface. If I could have got good prints this would have been a problem. The compony I got my filament from when bust during lockdown and I haven't found a good substitute yet. I know given time and the inclination I could dial in the new filament but Bruce is a background project. Well this way I can do a bit of manual sculpting of detail I missed on the computer like the scares. The does mean I'm going to have to make a mold and get a silicone out of a silicone which is a standard thing it always fills me with fear after having it go wrong once.
I've ordered 2 underwater thrusters and I'm looing in to submarine model acrylic tube for the servos and battery's to live. When I took the Orca to the lake everyone asked where's the shark so I can't not do it.

I'm supposed to be knocking that old wall down in my house but that seams like too much work.You do all of that for the challenge/fun of seeing your creation completed

Orca and model making takes priority, as it should
First primer coat bit more sanding the into the moulding process. Just found out what was wrong with my printer, I’d turn it up to 200 percent to rush a job and forgotten. Well at least it finished quick. Better get the teeth printed other wise it will be gums.

Ahh the familiar shade of Halfords filler primer. Looking good!
As there’s a lot going on with water proofing the electronics I’m casting him all in one peace apart from the teeth which will be in a harder silicone. I,m using dragon skin and air brushing the colours on white silicone. Well that’s the plan but we all know what happens to plans . I’m going with the carrot tooth look
I’ve printed the teeth as in the illustration
