tomaszhajzler Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Welcome! For a change I decided to handle front part of the fuselage. I used corell to scale down photos of engine compartment first. I prepared base of construction next, which help me to get correct geometry. I glued both frames to the base using few drops of CA glue. I added first struts of framework next. When all construction became stiff I detached framework from the base using debonder. I had to do it to add more rods. That is how I've started constructing maybe the most difficult part of my project.

tomaszhajzler Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Welcome again! Return to fuselage. I made new skin in rear part, behind cockpit. If you remember we've got inside skin with imitation of frames and rivets. So go to the outside skin. I had to m,ake it from two separate parts. and next part of the skin. First attempt from alluminium foil. But I think that rivets made in foil were bigger then in plastic. So i decided to made this part also from plastic sheet.

Piltdown Man Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I could be really cheeky and ask where you get those huge matches from, but that would be an insult to the superb work you are showing us. But would it be possible for you to show us a photo walk-through of another of your incredible pieces of miniature engineering? I'd like to learn a little more.

LSP_Kevin Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This is really jaw-dropping stuff Tomasz! I feel very humbled following your progress and looking at your photographs. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaszhajzler Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi everybody! I'm back after my holiday. This is my most advanced project, but of course i can show you my earlier models. They are more normal . If I have time I promise show you some photos. I suggest return to the front part of the fuselage. I decided, from the begining, to use Vector engine set dedicated to this model kit. I had to make engine mount. To this part was fasten thin oval ring. I considered to make it using copper wire and to solder all together. However I decided to use plastic. I fastened both rings to the base to get correct shape. Next, once again, I gently glued all construction to the base, to join all together. Regards Tomasz Rdrunner and sandokan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uilleann Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I for one am VERY interested in how, exactly, you're going to properly gap the microscopic spark plugs you will scratch build (of course) to ensure proper engine performance at scale altitude??!! Hahaha Truly jaw dropping skill here!!! GREAT WORK!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think about it!!! I relieved all construction of the base. Parts of fuel tank prepared to assemblage. First I made box from 1 mm plastic sheet. Next I glued skin of the walls. I made rivets, cavities etc. Fuel tank on place. Regards Tomasz Rdrunner, sandokan and Alburymodeler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Wow, that is really amazing, and precise work! The attention to detail and the delicate nature of your assemblies is magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaszhajzler Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thank you for your opinion. I like this kind of model building. Thank's for watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Tomasz, What an inspirational build - I love the work that you do and it is exactly the sort of attention to detail and work methods that I employ on my builds, well done. Awesome Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomaszhajzler Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Hi! I'm back after break. Next part was oil tank made the same as fuel tank. I added also fuel tank support cradle. Engine is from Vector as i wrote earlier. I added some details, wires. Engine joined with structure.
