| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 20-Sep-21 08:45 |  | | Views : 752 | | Work begins in earnest on the Bugatti! Went through the five step workflow of converting my plans to something my 2D laser etcher could use (1. In Photoshop, cut and paste parts to a drawing the size of the balsa, 2. Fill parts in black and save as TIFF, 3. Open file in InkScape, convert to vector graphics and save as DXF file, 4. Open file in LibraCAD, scale drawing and save as version of DXF that the next tool can use, 5. Open file in BenCutLaser, assign cutting tools and send drawing to Laser etcher to cut the parts). This is the first part being cut by the laser. Took about 4 hours to cut all the fuse and wing parts. |

| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 18-Jan-21 08:16 |  | | Views : 995 | | Waiting for paint to come in for my XP-67, so been focusing on the Bugatti. Working on Interior details that I’ll print on the 3D printer. Getting reference materials are hard because there are very few pictures of the interior of the aircraft, both in period and from the replica that was built in the 2000’s. I need to guess on some of this, like the starboard side panel. No pictures that I can find, so I’m guessing this is where all the electrical stuff is. |

| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 04-Jan-21 07:57 |  | | Views : 2216 | | Last week and this weekend, I used render options in Blender.org to produce all the outline images, which I then brought into PhotoShop to create the build plan. This is sheet 1 of 2. This plan will fit on six 8.5” x 11” sheets of paper so I can print them out on a printer and tape them together. |
| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 04-Jan-21 07:55 |  | | Views : 1160 | | Been working on the Bugatti 100P plans while waiting for paint to come in for the XP-67. I spent five straight days over Christmas break creating the framework of the aircraft in Blender.org. Here is the results which I will use to create the scale plans. Everything in the model is scaled virtually to 1/14 so all wood thickness will end up as standard sizes (1/16” x 1/16” stringers, 1/16” sheet, 1/32” Sheet, etc.) |
