Looking REALLY good, Roca. That engine will be a tough task but I know you'll fix it as I think you've done a marvellous job on the cowling parts so far.

Wonderful job. Cant wait to see it finished

Looking nice Roca, but I hope you don't mind if I may make a suggestion?

For parts like the engine side cases I would personally use drawing package (Illustrator) to draw the part accurately at actual model size then print the drawing onto the plastic card, or print onto paper and stick that to the plastic using spraymount glue. You can then cut away each strip one at a time. The thickness of the paper can also guide the parts you're adding as you can place them against the cut edge.

Hope this all makes sense?

Hi thank's guys!!

I will make moulds but i don't know if it will be for sale...

Thank's for the suggestion John i will try to use this method for all the other parts i hope to finish this part of the engine and if it does not seem to the real one i will try again with this method

I hope to put updates this weekend i would like to finish the frame because in it are mounted the engine and the body

Bye!

Roca.

The red square indicates that this piece is not finished and will be remodelled (longer in the In the end of the exit of the megaphone and a bit more thinner)

Roca46 · 05-05-2006, 02:08 PM

The grey part is not finished

Roca46 · 05-06-2006, 01:55 AM

I hope to see your comments for my motivation to follow this project.......
