| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 07-Jun-21 10:09 |  | | Views : 208 | | Been very busy 3D modeling and printing parts. Also, lots of modifications to the fuse to accept the new cockpit covers and all the added interior detail. Starting to assemble and paint the plastic parts now. Again, Wingnut Wings (http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/) has been an amazing resource! If you are building WW1 models, check out their site! Pictures of both the original aircraft and the models are amazing. I've not bought one of their models yet, but they must be amazing! |

| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 03-May-21 08:23 |  | | Views : 386 | | Finished modeling and 3D printing the Daimler-Mercedes D.IVa engine this week end. Had a couple of failed prints, and the print job with the cylinders took about 7 hours to run, but I did get it done. Note that the engine will be about 2.25” fully built. I also modeled in a spinning prop shaft, so if all goes well, I can put on a prop that will turn relatively easily. We shall see. (I think it’s time I find a new parts cutting board to photograph my part on! This one has seen better days!) |

| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 25-Apr-21 19:18 |  | | Views : 484 | | Working on framing the Rumpler. Pretty much done now. Next is 3D modeling cockpit details, then tissue covering. |

Note that the upper engine cowling has been removed. I plan to 3D print that, along with the cockpit combing. Also note that I added a lot of bracing between the formers. I’ve found in the past that when applying the tissue and shrinking it, the stringers on the edges will pull in and give a rippled effect. |
| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 11-Apr-21 20:37 |  | | Views : 340 | | Started work on the Rumpler kit this weekend. I had forgotten the quality of these kits. I think someone said, “Die Crushed” a couple of weeks ago, and that is what I found. Even a kit from the late 60’s still had pretty bad die cutting! I spent a lot of time rebuilding the fuse formers after pieces between stringers broke off while trying to cut them free of the sheet! But time spent here to get them right saves a lot of time when coverings. And besides, it’s not a race! |
