stusbke Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 I found myself looking for a solution to make the exhaust pipe and one time it hit me. I went to a local hard ware stire and got me these conectors electricians use to conect tubes. These puppies are dead cheap and have the right size OOB (Out Of Bag ) heres what I'm talking about you can also see styreen strips that I already cut into the right size. I need two lenghts as I need some space to install the compressor assembly. next on the list drill a lot of tiny holes in them like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusbke Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 then all thats left to do is to bend them as I saw in some pictures that the shape of those things isn't flat then I started attaching them to the tube when that is done on both sides this is what is looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusbke Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 Now here are some pictures showing the difference between OOB exhaust pipe and my attempt at it OOB My attempt at it, I know about the ring its not supposed to be there but I still think it LOOKS right to me.

Cleveland Model Resins Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 That is looking stunning. Amazing what modellers use to make outstanding parts isnt it - 25ft lengths of cable ducting! Brilliant idea Frederick! Wouldnt mind casting that in resin! Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impatient Pete Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 WOW! Those are great! I hope mine look that good, that is, if I don't "wuss out" and go AM. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rato Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Frederick, Excellent (and surprisingly simple) technique!!! I've never heard of something similar before, but your results are very very realistic. Saved for future reference... if you don't mind.

JCote Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 STUPENDOUS detailing and brilliant solution for those cans. Lots of hard work there, I imagine, but so much more satisfying than commercially-made PE parts. Looking forward to seeing more. Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boness Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 looking good frederick. I have been watching tis one since you started it and plan on trying to "replicate" some of your stuff. Do you plan on doing the engine fronts the same, or are you going to put FOD covers on em? jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcauchi Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Lovely detail work Frederick. Just one small thing, might be well out of line here since I am not a jet man but do you think you need to thin down the walls of the edge of the can a bit. It looks so good but I think it is a bit too thick. The fact that you can take all the suff apart for painting is the way to go. It is very difficult to get a good pait job done with all the detail in place. This is a fantastic build man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
