Chris/Germany Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanx a lot mates, glad you like it.................and so do I! ..........was a bit scared ´bout the challenge of rippin this beast after I had the first look to the cutaway-drawings and noticed the complete skeleton........this monster seems to have more ribs ´n bones than a whale! but again, i seem to have a "good run", lets knock on wood for further progress. Thanx again, cheers Chris "the ripper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingman777 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Yeah Chris, I think the sound chip would be a very good addition and certainly a simple task for you. I'd also recommend police tape around the table when you put it on exhibit so you don't get a repeat of the tourist with the camera episode. A curious person might see the blur of the fan blades and say...hmmm, it looks like they are turning but that can't be...I'll just touch it with my finger or this ball point pen in my pocket and AAAACKKKK!!!! Just a bad dream. You do need to collect all your planes and come across the pond so we Americans can see them in person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hello Chris your work is mind blowing KEEP IT UP it all most makes me want to start biulding planes again LOL.

Chris/Germany Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Thanx again for your comments, mates! ...........short update: main/fuselage fuel tanks installed , fuselage-framing done............and............. ............Uhhhh................I love cutting holes into planes! ............ Because of the "good run" this project seems to have I decided to give her a full set of flaps/slats, even at the cutawayed starboard wing. Here´s a quick shot of the separated parts, ready for the framing session. cheers Chris "the ripper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hi Chris - absolutely ingenious, man, this is so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing it with us... And I agree with Chris, we absolutely MUST see video of the engine... And I agree that you really will need a display cover for this so it doesn't get damaged... I envy your motivation; it would be so easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis with this... I know I would. Cheers to you mate! Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris/Germany Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 hy mates, update of saturday-evenings work ( while I watched JurassicPark I and II on TV ´till 2.30 in the morning ): main spars on starboard wing installed, also wings leading edges are sculptured and slots for the slat-extenders/mechanism are mounted. Next step will be inserting ribs............. cheers Chris "the ripper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
