:eek

THAT is just sick! I completely agree with Katsu-san; you have an obvious talent for conceptualizing function... very impressive! :) Thank-you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing. I am always in awe of how detailed everything is. Each little piece looks like it's functional.

Keep up the awesome work :)

Thank you so much for the positive comments​

Just a quickie to show the hitch assembly i was working on before, with a bit more done.
Agonized over the design for, what seemed like, forever but i think it turned out quite nice.​

Cut out my central supports​


Drilled a hole and inserted a tube​


Shaped and glued 2 side supports​


Mounted 2 damper boxes​


Got the piston/actuator assemblies together​


I shaped the side supports and dry fit everthing together including the magnetic vacuum pads.​

Hope you like what i've done so far, still have wiring, hydraulic lines, detailing and some
additional supports.​

Thanks for stopping by​

I don't think you are are human! Trying to figure out how you come up with these things is like trying to figure out how the Mayans came up with an astrologically precise calendar 800 years before Columbus discovered America! Just amazing!!! :D

This thing looks amazing. And the way Red Bull is backing so much stuff these days I wouldn't be shocked if they were the first commercial company with delivery ship in space.

This build is so much fun to follow! Please post MORE! :)
 
Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1

Is this awesome ship build for a new epic movie that I don't know of or is it just for the fun of it?
I'm on my knees now..... I feel so little.

Respect!!

You're doing a really incredible job. Are you a mechanical engineer by trade? You have amazing talent and it really shows in your form-and-function designs. Even the way you name parts - they seem real devices - I would've called them thingamajigs.

Excellent design work, excellent scratch building, excellent everything!!

Evening All,
Thanks for the comments guys,
Had all day Friday to model after I'd made a run to the nearest model store (about 45 mins away) and got three new greeblie donors.

Made a detail pod for under the back end for a tool holder and an assortment of greeblie from my new donors.

Then i returned to the hitch,
Fabricated the top supports for the upper clamping arms of the hitch

The completed assembly dry fit together, not 100% convinced i like it yet.

I then moved on to the fixed bottom element of the hich assembly,
First made pads

Then a cross support

Then pad joiners

Then dry fit it all together with the external spacing wire and the main supports to the ship

And in position on the ball

Thats all so folks.
More tomorrow, hopefully.
Take care

Dizzyingly astonishing! I'm scrolling up and down through the photos again and again. The gears in your head seem to just keep whirring away.
 
Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1

WOW- you have serious scratchbuilding skills, sir. I'm impressed with the engine detail. Hope to see the completed pics!
 
Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1

Hi,
I've just been having a look around at different sites as i'm doing something similar, so was after inspiration-Your work in progress is incredible-so much so i've ripped the engines of my space ship and remade them after looking at the detail you put into yours! I'm looking forward to checking back routinely for more inspiration and see how your final project turns out.Well done from a miserably wet and cold UK.
 
Re: Scratch Built Red Bull Delivery Ship 3011AD, The Nylon Gag MK.1

i can't even wrap my head around the details you put into this and the patience you must have.
