Rainer Hoffmann Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Holy moly! This is amazing. Perhaps I should start drinking beer... What brand is your favourite? I'll order some of that stuff, just to see, if I can achieve the same level of perfection. Cheers Rainer 109 and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Hi, cut or actually broke the finger strap from litho and embossed the rivet pattern with a dull needle: I glued the strap to the upper edge of the shell with epoxy: For Rainer: at the moment I enjoy a Noctus 100: http://www.riegele-biermanufaktur.de/noctus-100/ Bye!

fightersweep Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This build is almost as complex as a full size restoration! Stunning work and stunning detail! Best regards;Steve 109 and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brahman104 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Hi Bernd, I've been following along on this build for quite some time and like many of the other builds here your skills are absolutely amazing. I'm particularly impressed by the neatness of your build, even from the very first MDF frames you made. Incidentally, how did you cut them out? Was it by hand? The finish and crispness of those profiles rivals what my laser cutter can do! This certainly promises to be a gem when finished, I wish you luck with the build Craig Edited May 25, 2017 by brahman104 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hi, long weekend in Germany due to a public holiday... so let´s work on the Dora! There are two distinct profiles to be found on the side shells, (i) a Z-shaped stiffener and (ii) a U-shaped profile that runs along the top edges of the side consoles of the cokpit tub. The U-prfile runs across the finger strap at frame 4, so this has be be bend, too. I made some tests on how to bend and shape these profiles: Bye, Bernd.

This certainly promises to be a gem when finished, I wish you luck with the build Craig Hi Craig, thanks for your response. I use a semi-transparent paper to copy the frame. I mount this paper onto the MDF with 3M display Mount spray glue. Next I cut the MDF on my Proxxon saw, I leave a 1 mm or so be be sanded away on my Proxxon disc sander. I always use right angles to adjust all machine settings and to glue all parts in place with UHU Hart, sometimes 5min-epoxy. That´s it actually! Talk to you soon, Bernd.

109 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Ok, I bent the U-profile and added the cross junction: I cut a stripe from lithe of the same width as the strap and laid it down on a steel plate, fixed it in place with tape. Shaped the profile with a thin steel strap and hammered it down till it fits nicely.

Rainer Hoffmann Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 For Rainer: at the moment I enjoy a Noctus 100: http://www.riegele-b....de/noctus-100/ I consider this cheating... Absolutely stunning work, Bernd. Always a joy to read one of your updates. Cheers Rainer 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micke D Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hello Bernd! I love this build of yours! But I saw something now that you need to correct before it's to late... The hole for the handgrip should not be as big as the hole for the footstep! Best wishes, Micke D "Dora freak" 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
