HerculesPA_2 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Parabéns meu amigo Ben! Estou sempre acompanhando seus trabalhos. Vou iniciar um Hercules C-130 numa versão anos 70 e com partes impressas em 3D. Acompanhando seus trabalhos sempre! best regards Hercules de Araujo from Brasil Supersonic and Dutch Man 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thank you Hercules! I have started working on the files for a C-130 in 1/32 as well - what scale will yours be? Please post some updates of your build here in the forums, i would love to follow your progress! stusbke, LSP_Paul and Iain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 I forgot the mm ruler for Mark, sorry for that... here comes the other side of the cockpit. I am still looking for photos of a fully equipped rack behind the navigator's seat and the rear portion of the side console which in my opinion was covered with a fabric. If anyone has photos of it, I would highly appreciate if you would share them! patricksparks, AlexM, Gazzas and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 It's probably getting a bit boring but it's all I can show at the moment... I have finished the basic structure of the A_LORAN console behind the Plane Captain's seat. New side consoles for Pilot and Navigator are ready as well. Next, I will draw and print the fron IP before I can get back to some 'real modelling. And the one with a ruler requested by Mark.

red Dog Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Did they have a toilet in there ? Like the Su-34 joke So you print all these parts in 3D Ben? That's a lot of work to design, and print these I guess. Completely different way of addressing the building side of the hobby but what sense of freedom this should give you Great work this like all the rest will be a masterpiece Lothar and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Did all of these items come from the same printer? My point is, the seat sides show striations while other items seem to not. I probably have asked you this in the past, and if I have I apologize for the redundancy; What brand printer are you using? Thank you.

Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Yes, all of them were printed on my Anycubic Photon. I have bought a new resin and I am experimenting with the settings; in addition, curved parts like the seats always have tendency to show "steps" as the printer is limited by the resolution of it's LCD screen. I could try to angle the parts on the build platform but this would cause other inconveniences. In this case, it is easier to use a little bit of putty to get them smooth. All parts need post-processing anyway. BiggTim, Out2gtcha, Kagemusha and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpjack Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 The new(ish) self levelling acrylic primers go a loooong way in filling striations on curvatures (eg Ultimate primer). Easier to fine finish them than the base material. Les BiggTim and Starfighter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Também comecei a trabalhar nos arquivos de um C-130 em 1/32 - qual será a sua escala? Por favor, poste algumas atualizações de sua compilação aqui nos fóruns. Gostaria de acompanhar seu progresso! Olá meu amigo Ben! Sim estou trabalhando no projeto deste Hercules C-130 antigo da Força Aérea Brasileira do esquadrão SAR na escala 1/62 pois é uma encomenda de um amigo daqui do Brasil. Vou postar fotos do projeto em breve, no momento estou nas plantas que estou desenhando no CorelDraw para cortar as partes em Laser no plástico poliestireno 1mm e 0,5mm. Algumas partes pretendo imprimir na impressora 3D Ender 3. Estou te acompanhando! Abraços! Hercules de Araujo BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Great work Ben! I cant imaging being the weapons officer/radar op facing backwards the whole flight like that. Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
