We don't do too many aircraft, so this was fun. Glad they let me do it. Built an acrylic stand for it today and it's already on it's way to Orlando FL for a trade show. As always, a major rush, so it will come back for decals and clear gloss urethane topcoat. simonlschmitz 01-Mar-11 09:45 Is that the Global Hawk UAV? I wish I could build stuff like that at work. frwyflyer 01-Mar-11 10:10 Send this photo to Fred at PACMIN. Let him eat his heart out frwyflyer 01-Mar-11 10:23 What did you use?? Renshape? pfinn 01-Mar-11 18:06 Global Hawk, yes. And in my year of working here, this is the first aircraft we've done although there is a very nice C-140 sitting on a shelf (24" WS). Like many other model shops (including PACMIN, frwyflyer) most of these "Patterns" are now built on SLA machines from CAD. Hand crafted models from scratch are few and far between sad to say. There is still a lot of hand finishing and shaping involved with the older machines (which my employer has) so there is still surprisingly quite a bit of work and skill to get a model to an "Appearance" quality standard. These are made of laser cured resin. It sands, files, scrapes and even carves quite well, if you know how to and have the guts ;o). Today I worked on a 24" "Inchworm". Global Hawk...Inchworm...well, it keeps it interesting to say the least! Please sign in to comment on this image.
