Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1
Added some detail to the inside 
added some more control cables to the magnetic vacuum pods
Then had another test dry fit
The hitch is turning out to be very complicated indeed, but i just can't cut corners and simpilfy it, i keep hearing my fathers voice saying "it has to look functional" and this drives me to make it so....!
My Friends,
Detail is the order of the day, hitch detail. But first i must say, the positive feeling i get from your post's is truly inspiring, i will respond to everyone individualy tomorrow but tonight i just want to get my report in.......?
The donor kits have been a great help in the progression of the hitch section......Pix,
I posted before i was not convinced by the hitch assembly, so i replaced the round bar with square tube and it fit much better.
I then started work on the out side frame work which was to solid to me and needed some "enhancing"
I added a frame a cut out and some mesh details.

I am a huge Star Wars fan... that being said, your model is starting to make even the Falcon look bad. :behave ( I know I'll get some hate mail for that one), but your work is just amazing. I am a big fan!opcorn

Thanks for the comments
Now on to tonights report......lets dooooooooooooooooo it. PIX
Added detail around the back plate for the hitch assemby
Had another dry fit, this time in position with the upper hitch arms in position also
Added wiring to the detail tubs
Fitted the support details in the tubs and ran the last of the wires
Another dry fit in position
And......Primer.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Primer
And finally, in position
Thats all for today, next is figuring out how the bottom hitch support attaches to the ship.
Thanks for stopping by, if i don't post again before,
I want to wish everyone a Very Merry Chrismas

Mornin All,
Thanks for the comments Guys
"What is this project based on?"
My imagination, various shapes that appeal to my eye, Some aircraft parts i like the design of, i'm a tool maker by trade so i have an engineers eye, i'm also a big F1 fan so a few pieces were in spired by that and i'm a Star Wars fan but i've tried to avoid anything from any existing ships just little bits no major shapes.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas.
Yesterday i was building from about 9:30am until way pass 11pm, this is what i managed to get done........PIX
First started working on the underside of the hitch support
Found the right buffer 'look' i was after
Next i started work on detailing the surrounding area
And in position, still only dry fit
Wired up the vacuum magnetic pads
Then started the fine positioning booster thrusters, first the internal nozzles
Then the main nozzle, the frame is for the steering vanes.
That's was all last night, now will get back to it for another couple of hours today.
Thanks for stopping by.
See ya

Afternoon All,
Thanks for the positive feedback peeps, very motivating, sorry but i'm definately not 'hero' material and I really can't stop it until it looks like the vision in my head, which could take a while.
Well after a marathon build day, i managed to get some serious bench time the next couple of days also, put in a couple of 8 hour days. If only i could do this for a job, don't think my better half would like it some how, but anyhoo, lets see what did i manage the last couple of days.........PIX
Continued building the cages that will support the steering vanes
Made detail and a back plate for the nozzle
Hinges and steering vanes
Assembled
And primered
This next piece i was building at the same time as the nozzle assemblies and was one of the hardest i have done so far. The fit was tremendously tight and for some reason i glued it in place before i'd finished the whole assembly. But in the end it turned out good.
These were the pieces i wanted to use
Marked and drilled holes for the cut down frame to fit in
Cut and assembled the cardboard tubes, this is a functioning joint
Tested the look of the assembly
Then i added some detail to make the cardboard tubes look better, all this was done with everything in position, very fiddly
And finally with its coat of primer
Thats the story so far, just gave the whole hitch assembly a coat of primer. Not sure of the final colours yet.
Need to start the detail on the back of the main wing but that ties in with the skinning of the upper wing surfaces, i want to incorperate some steering flaps on one of the upper wing surfaces at the back and i need to think about how i want it to look before i start, so i need to think about it for a while.
I do have another detail tub to do for the top of the wing, just behind the radar/cannon cut out that will be some kind of pumping hub/distribution area, so i might start on that next.
Stay tuned folks

Gagster-san.
Great progress and I can't guess what you are going to do next as usual. Very exciting.
Also you stimulate and motivate me a lot. I got stacked right now for some designing issue. But your works make me think that I could find the way out if I could be patient and continue to think with my dimmed brain.
Thanks for sharing this.

Evenin all,
Well, Tuesday night is model night......well, this week anyway.
In 2012 i had been keeping an approximate tally of the hours i spent at the bench, 875 hours.
Its not an exact figure because i had to average it a bit, but its pretty close, i think. ;D
Sooooooo, whats been doin then.......PIX
Made the center pumping hub/distribution detail tub for the top area behind the Radar/Gun cutout.
When this is attached there will be lots of lines running to various points on the wings surfaces.
Then i did a bit of painting, base coating the hitch assembly components with chrome silver
after first primering them with black.
I then moved on to the back flaps that will be on the top rear edge of the wing,
this first part looks a little out of place but it is setting the style for the rest of the upper flaps so trust me, I'm a doctor? ;D
Then it took forever to line the back of the wing with 1mm styrene and get this
detail piece lined up how i wanted it, again its just the base, it will have a lot more detail added over the top
That's all for now, still working on the upper wing flaps so stay tuned my friends

WOW! Fantastic! I look forward to every update. Only 875 hours at the bench? You're clearly not putting enough time in! Back to work!
Is this for a project or just pleasure? Either way... It's already a work of art.
