If you have already said this, I am sorry... I didn't catch it, or I wouldn't ask, but what references were used for the styrene frame? When I'm done with my E-C, I want to build one. Thanks! :)
 
Re: 32" Falcon WIP *update - Fitting Skins!!!* 21/12

There was no specific reference for measurements, I drew out the main shapes on card before I was happy with them, I gauged the thickness to be about 1" high and made that the height of all my internal support as well as the side walls, same with the ribs, they taper up to 1.5" I think a lot of this has to be decided by you in the end, though I found asking many questions of other guys who have built these helped a great deal

Thank-you. That'll make it easier, actually. I can calculate most of it just by measuring the lengths and angles. It was the arc of the top and bottom hull I couldn't figure out... When I get done with my E-C, I am putting this on the top of my list. :)
