Rick K Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 It has been a struggle to find bench time with recent family obligations. That said, I'll provide some additional shots of the finished M10's along with build progress images. My final pan is to add ignition wires and ordnance before mounting to "Slick Chick". Have yet to formulate an ordnance solution. Comparison with 2 Trumpy M10's I detailed with flat lead wire. The Trumpy M10's came out ok. However, I am glad I pulled the plug on the enhancements and go with the scratch build M10's. Styrene tube cut to 2mm slices set as mount stops. End pieces, nuts and washers added Using a hairdryer I slightly heated then bent the channel styrene. Mounts with swing arms attached to the tubes. Styrene rod with ends drilled out for ignition wire conduit added to the tubes. Mounts made from styrene rod and various sizes of styrene strips. Styrene strips added for the securing wraps. 3 styrene tubes glued together is just the beginning. Bill Cross and Lars Befring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 M10 BULLETS The M10 tubes need to be loaded so back to some creative engineering. Rocket tubes primed with Mr.Color 1500 Black, olive drab will be main color applied. Using a 3.2mm (1/8") styrene tube I cut 6 pieces approx 2cm length. Thin the walls with a round file. A 1.5mm round rod is inserted to create depth at the rocket nozzle. The 1.5mm rod is depressed about 1mm into the tube then liquid cement applied. Will drill a small hole to accommodate the ignition wire. Will trim the rod about 3mm from tube. Plan is to paint some shade of dark aluminum. TBD. Test fit of M10 bullets and ignition wire. Wire will be trimmed and inserted into middle of each rocket. Bill Cross, Mal_Belford and Lars Befring 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
