Silver Dollar Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) First rate all the way. Wow. That chart worked perfectly. It really adds to the realism. I've got to see if I can shrink it down to the 1/32 size. The rest of that compartment looks incredible.

fozzy Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hi all My thanks to SD ,Boris and Shep for your support Okay...so I have a small update for you. I am trying to get all the small detail done before I have a go at the 50 cal cheek guns...and here is some of the small detail.......... Starting with................ THE ASTRODOME DETAIL Here we have a couple of photos of the detail ....and just to point out that a lot of it was guess work!!!! CHEEK GUN ATTACHMENT CABLES AND PULLEYS There will be another two cables attached to the pulleys when the Guns are mounted in the windows........................ Bloody fidely I'll tell you!!!! So its on to the Guns!!........This will probably take some time as two of them will have to be made ...but I'll post updates on them as and when I get any progress done. Cheers for looking in Fozzy Bill Cross, Roy vd M. and sandokan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This is amazing. I still think you've just shrunk down a real B-17 in your den, or else you have a fleet of tiny elves to help you build. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzy Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi all ...and thanks for all your comments CHEEK GUNS Well I have started on the cheek guns and here are a few photos of them during construction....................... .....as per usual I made them from scrap plastic ,a few bits of of a coca cola can and wire........here they are painted..... Just to say that I still have to make the gun mounts which will slip over the guns and then the loading handles and a little more detail here and there before they are finished.....which will be the next job......and there's more!!.................... sandokan and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 This post will be about me moaning about "Why the hell did I start this project"!! I looked at the cheek gun covers that I have all ready made and decided that ............. A. They are just not good enough....and.... B. What the hell was I thinking of......it was going to be a nightmare trying to fit the guns through the apertures when the two halves are joined...not to mention attaching the ammo belts!!! So I decided to re do the window covers by fixing them onto the fuselage at this stage.........here are a few photos of the rehash!!!......... I think it will be easier to fix the guns into the apertures this way....but I will be honest.....not too sure if this is going to work out ...I have a horrible feeling that its going to look rubbish ........... I guess time will tell! The wife has got me to get on with all the concrete that has to be done around the property!!...and my Band are calling me to "learn the blasted set"!! so there might be a bit of a break before the next post chaps............ ....but I'll be back Fozzy sandokan and Uilleann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plane_mc Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Impressive work on the 50 cals Fozzy. I am sure you will make them fit in the openings and look great, just like the rest of the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
