Harold 3,563 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I needed to finish up a couple old projects, so I decided to get the APS-4 pod done first. HOWEVER, I found the pod sent to me from Vandy one of our LSPers was way under scale. I found Tommy's drawings with the actual measurements. I will need to start from scratch.

Harold 3,563 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 I had a heck of a time trying to find something with the correct diameter. I finally found something in my old scrap box of parts from 20 years ago. I don't know what that thing was, but it was perfect for start of the mockup. I made a casting of it and cleaned up the seams and other whatever they were. I have the rounded end started. Link to post Share on other sites

Harold 3,563 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Got a bit more done yesterday afternoon. I work on these things in between pouring resin and making fresh molds, checking mail and reading crap on FB...I even get in an episode of The Walking Dead, trying to get caught up so I can talk to my youngest in Florida, at least we have something to talk about...LOL otis252 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ade rowlands 1,667 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 May have to get one of these for my Avenger, which just seems to be sitting gathering aftermarket rather than me deciding on a scheme and building it! Harold 1 Link to post Share on other sites
