I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 16:12 Views : 389 Stock of the gun. The hole is when I accidentally pushed the pin too far in my attempts to simulate rivets. this is okay, since this part will be hidden. I apologize for the slightly blurry image. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 16:07 Views : 419 Using my best guess (eyeballing), I figured the stock to the gun would be about j"just so big" and cut a block of balsa wood. Used left over plastic cut and scored to shape the stock. Then used a pin to push out some rivets. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:59 Views : 397 Small front end was made from tubular strips of plastic cut down short. Used a pin to help located the holes followed by using a pin vise. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:57 Views : 396 Starting to look like a Vickers... Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:55 Views : 413 Super glued each strip until the whole barrel was covered. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:54 Views : 374 To simulate the long grooves on the main barrel, I cut short strips of .060" half-round plastic strips. The chose of thickness of the strips was purely arbitrary as it "looked just about right." Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:49 Views : 386 The tape was wrapped as many times necessary to achieve the desired thickness. In this case, it was just twice. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:48 Views : 367 I noticed that the ends of the barrel were "capped." So, back to the cutting a thin strip from electrical tape. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:45 Views : 489 Using the drawings of the inboard and outboard profile drawings, combined with photos and the advertisement of the Vickers gun, it was just a matter of choosing the materials to start the build. In this case, I found a small cylinder_shaped piece of plastic to use as the main barrel. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:40 Views : 396 I apologize in advance for using this same image of the main instrument panel. Just using it as another source of reference to where the Vickers gun is to be located and how much of it will be visible Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 09-Dec-15 15:37 Views : 392 Same can be said for the outside profile. This also gives me the perspective that most of the Vickers gun will be hidden Page (56 in total) :  <<   37   38   39   40   41  [ 42 ]  43   44   45   46   47   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
