Your work on this is stunning! Completely! I've just started my build with the Everett plans and am a complete newbie! Can I ask one question? I apologize if this has been asked and answered elsewhere, but how do you recommend making the 45 degree chamfer on the 3mm styrene? Sandpaper? File? I have a router table with a 45 degree bit too, but wasn't sure that wouldn't tear up the styrene. Any insights would be very much appreciated!
Yea man, you want the hose here:
McMaster-Carr
Part #53145K67
You have to buy a minimum of 5' at $5 a foot.
I havent ordered mine if you want to split it?
What an awesome K-9!
Is this part # the right size for the neck in Dave Everett's plans?
Frank
Yes, thats what my K9 is built off of.
Bah, I've not been on the RPF for ages as I'd forgotten my log in.. if I'd have remembered them a bit earlier I may have been able to help you out- I've just helped out an exhibition with Matt and he had the original prop there.
I don't know how recent you are aiming for with the look of your replica, but here's Matt pointing out the new rivets on K-9's head, he's got so fed up of the screws being obvious he decided to make it a design feature!
In addition we had two other K-9's on display, so we took a group shot after the event had finished and we were packing up! The original prop is in the middle!
I hope these are of use!
Bump for a great build.
I have styrene laying here on the floor just waiting till I can take my shot at Dave's plans. Dave really makes incredible guides. Thanks to Dave!
