Re: StarCraft BattleCruiser (Scratchbuilt)
So in trying to fix up and make these thrusters better, I first needed to lengthen them.
Then I tried to cut out a circle where the old pipe fits in the new one. It didn't go so well.
Even when cutting a bit bigger, theres a bit of a gap. I think this new pipe is so very slightly warped. But even using the pipe itself to make a circle, still just doesn't fit correctly. Its kinda weird.
So to Home Depot I went to look for anything that could work. Checked out the pipe fittings first, and the very first one I tried actually worked. These tees they had. So I cut the ends off.
For a test fitting, it actually turned out really nice and pretty much filled any gaps up.
I feel like this looks more like how it should, and now makes the body not seem so big and bulky. I still wish I could have changed it a bit, but you always learn better ways to do stuff after you do it.
I really like how the back looks. Its only a dry fit, as I'll have to align all the pieces to match a bit better.
