Hi guys, haven't given up in case anyone was wondering, just had life to deal with, and a very bad back for the past few weeks.
Have more to add but so just a quick update, 1/24th panel line print test which looks spot on, the new NGEN print material holds the fine details much better providing you print as cool as possible and slow. I still have a vertical Z banding issue which can see as horizontal banding. This will be cured by redesigning the Z axis of my printer, printed gears are just impossible to get perfect.
Cockpit panel virtually done, this will only be around 20mm across and the individual buttons 0.3mm so just about viable to high res print I think. Also have most of a pretty good Clint pilot done.
Started laying out panel lines on the full print I had done a while ago and could see I still had the wing root too thick and convex as the panel line should appear flat. Had one go over the weekend which still didn't look right, then finally with fresh eyes today finally worked out what I was getting wrong so finally will get it right on the 5th/6th attempt!
FirefoxUSSR, you're welcome, if there is any way I could copy protect the file I would send you a copy, no offence but you just don't know where it could end up and I have spent literally hundreds of hours on it.
BTW watched the auction, I think the same person bought all the Firefox stuff, was it anyone on here?
