mozart Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 That looks a bit challenging Max, rather you than me. Cheers Dennis I really enjoy the challenge of having to find solutions to modelling problems Dennis, I could sit and do this sort of stuff all day long (if only!!!!!!!).

dmthamade Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Wow!! That's a lot of stuff to put into the pit/fuselage. Will look great under all the clear parts. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 That looks awesome, Max. I will eagerly wait for your next update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 That looks awesome, Max. I will eagerly wait for your next update! Me too Shaka! The problem is I'm away on holiday for a large chunk of June.........people have been saying this GB is nearly a year long (my maths don't make it that long) but I already have doubts of completion, though my target is a good Anson build not a GB end date. If they happen to coincide so much the better! Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi Max Nice start on the framing and I never realized the intetior of the Anson was so cramed with gear. Going to be great build and will be along for the ride. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) I did a trial fit of one of the fuselage frames against some drawings, encouraging results so far: I've also made a start on the cabin floor based on an upscaled drawing of the CA item: and again I've done a rough fit inside the vac fuselage which looks to be OK. Doubtless there'll be sanding and adjustments on the real fit but I'm pleased that the upscaled CA idea is working so far with the CM vac stuff.

BloorwestSiR Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The framing looks fantastic Max. Do you plan to eventually fill the joints so they're not so flat or is that the way they are on the actual aircraft? Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) I'll do a clean up Carl but I don't intend spending too long on the joints because most of them won't be visible from neither the inside nor outside, this is a "skeleton" view: and a "clothed" one!: Max Edited May 23, 2016 by mozart dmthamade, dennismcc, sandokan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Max Nice start on the framing. Looking mighty good Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 A chance to start sanding back the excess plastic on the fuselage, it's important to keep the pressure even when sanding to get a good join which needs as little filler as possible: I've been thinking a lot about when and how to cut out all the glasswork along the cabin sides: would leaving it till later help the structural strength of the fuselage, do I cut out the whole strip from the door to the cockpit then add uprights, or cut out individual window spaces? I've decided on the former because I think I can add a backing strip first of all then a thinner one flush with the fuselage face so that I can drop the glazing into it, if that makes sense?

BloorwestSiR Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Seeing how much window framing there is and how thin a lot of them are, I think I would cut them out as a single strip and then lightly scribe and paint on the frames from the outside while using strip styrene on the inside for a more 3 dimensional effect. This way, it's a single piece rather than many individual ones. Carl Rick Griewski and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
