waroff Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Thanks guys! 18 hours ago, Vincent/MDC said: Another 6 years to wait ? six years, it would be fast and wonderful. I have an idiopathic slowdown(bradykinesie) that started at least three years ago and the sitting position is uncomfortable beyond ten minutes. I must to stand up or lie down Add to that the work on the new house the last two years the time goes fast.. The gestures are much slower and less strong and precise and the motivation is down, but posting here makes me want to continue and finish this project I have a design problem to fit the landing gear on firewall and this prevents to continue. In the meantime, I'm working on the pilot's canopy. Remains to be done: - propellers* - engines* - landing gear struts - canopies* - rear wheel - firewall* - seats* - machine gun mounting - instrument panel* *in progress Then mold and cast all these items furnishings as levers, levers, radio, electric boxes, will remain to made by yourself. Six years yet? May be less, hope it . I return to the workbench.... MikeMaben, dutik, Alburymodeler and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waroff Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks Maru, I duplicate the master of the canopy to have a homogeneous piece, the work will be easier to get a better result. I drill several holes that will receive brass rods. These rods(0,3 mm dia) removed from the future mold give vaccum vent holes. It's the same work as for the 1/48 FM canopy(below) . I try several material to made vacuformed canopies, the best is plexiglas sheet but it's more expensive than petg and styrene sheets. Tomorow, I will make the mold, the frame is ready. ....

waroff Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks guys, today I try cast some parts, but the pot life of PU resin, initially 2.5min decrease under on minute because the warm weather. It's not enough long for pouring the resin in the mold and put it under pressure. After some test, I work at another part as the LDG struts.

waroff Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Some parts will be in 3D resin printing, example the propeller blades Ratier, clockwise and counterclockwise still wet, just after printing and before wash dry and after post curing chukw, Gazzas, Kagemusha and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 You need a much slower resin! 12 minutes pot life at least! But low the smell of resin in the morning!! Stick at it, fabulous project! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-8APoseidon Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The Breguet 693 looks very close to being finished! I hope you don't give up, as I want to buy it, if possible. Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I seem to have forgotten that this project is in fact still in progress! Would love to see you finish it Waroff, and if there's room, I'd love to go on the list. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Better late than never I just got wind of this fabulous project. I don’t know anything about the Breguet but I can tell dedication and pugnacity when I see them. Please let me in if the boat is still afloat.
