Superbly executed and beautifully detailed work , shared yet again Katsu - san
. Each of those landing gear housing bays is a work of art in itself . I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a remote / switch somewhere in your workshop that’s actually used to deploy and retract them !!!:lol
:cheersGed
:facepalm
I'm thinking that I'd better learn the small servo mechanism in the near future.
Thanks!
Beautiful work Katsu-san
the remote switch for the landing gear sounds like a great idea but could you incorporate motors at this late stage of your build ?
In fact, even if I knew the technique of remote control mechanisms, it might be too late to do that.
Looks great! Now I can't help but wish there was a boarding ramp. And maybe some workers loading cargo into the underbelly of the ship. Can you tell we're all trying to think of ways to keep this build going for as long as possible?
Sheeee!!
My god, that's supposed to be a secret. :angry
Now, you make me have to post the consequences even if I failed to build them. :facepalm
....Cough
OK, I was trying to fix a boarding ramp in the nose landing gear housing.
Can you see the three little scratched lines beside the support strut in the pic below.
That's where I planned to set the ramps at the first place.
While I was drawing a plan for the parts, I found that the length of the ramp will be about 3 inches long if I fix it with 35-40 degrees slope or stairway. As you know that the scale of this model is 1/400. So that the actual length of slope/stairway will be about 100 feet to 130 feet. that gonna be a little harassment for the elderly crew like me.
So I quit this idea and tried to find alternative.
Check out the marked red square in the pics below.
It is a sponson on the both sides at the nose deck.
It's empty inside and I guess it's a good size and good place to store the boarding lift mechanisms.
Now I'm drawing some sketches.
For the cargo loading ramp, I will fix it right here at the lower bay in the center of the twin hull.
I will fix the large ramp way here to load cargo directly by vehicles.
So far I don't think there will be any technical issues here.
Thank you very much, Bones-san.:cry
I'm torn - I don't want this project to end, but every model you build is better than the last...
Thank you very much, Tom-san.
And thanks to Bones-san's effort, It may take another few weeks.:lol
Truly amazing, you've outdone yourself!
Thank you very much!!
