Etienne Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hi all, Here is a topic about my 3D job on KH Mirage 2000c, to modify into 2000-5. I started it about one month ago, and it will take a time, as I'm not working anymore, because of diabesis & burnout. In fact , I try to keep my mind by improving skills into 3D softwares. Oh, please, my apologies about my English. Too much time since school... So I began by measuring and copying the KH cockpit, then printed a basic sample on Anycubic Photon printer. This one was printed by a friend on Elegoo Mars, as my Photon was out of service after two months. Chinese people sent a new motherboard to me, I now own a Photon S! As you could see, I was not that bad to fit the kit! Starfighter, Cheetah11, alain11 and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Your English is fine Etienne, great to see work on a cockpit for the kit, do you have plans to produce a cockpit for the D, and any other products for the Mirage 2000 kits?

Etienne Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Maybe, but it's one by one (one step to another) I'm not working full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etienne Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 When I was waiting for my new Photon motherboard, I began to draw dashboard cover. At first, I made it copying KH measurements. Then some people on french forum Master194 told me that the shape was not that right... So I modified And more... And more... Now, final design is ready to print But I still have problems with the printer! Wait & see, I now draw again the cockpit frame, a loooong job!

Etienne Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi All, Waiting for a good print of the dashboard cover (printer is going again its way off!), I come back to cockpit frame. As first sample was all right to fit model, I'll just post pics of my screen, about drawing in progress. Still a lot to do! Right board is on way because I need it to verify sizes of the whole stuff, also to get markers to create the floor frame.

Etienne Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi all, Some advances, but it's very long to do, not only because of the subject. I need a clear mind in my head. Lothar, Landrotten Highlander, Derek B and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 it's coming on a treat, you're going to make an awful lot of modellers happy with your work Etienne. Martinnfb and Lothar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etienne Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I hope so... Something also keeping me late is the new 1/32rd Eduard Bf 108. We had a lot in France made by SNCAN, known as Nord 1000, 1001 & 1002. And I have 1:1 blueprints from SNCAN for the engine coil to modify... Will post a subject when I'll have something to show. If interest. rafju, Martinnfb, Kagemusha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etienne Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi all, I think I have finished the common part of C and -5: Except RH board, which is for -5. Just a question about wiring. It could be hard to design, and for myself, I prefer to add wiring after moulding. It's more easy to mould, and more precise than painting by a thin brush...

Lothar Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Excellent work, indeed a great addition to uprage the sparse kit cokpit!!! Do you have any indea on when and where these will be available?

Etienne Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Difficult to say. It depends on my mind, as I'm still under depression, and not operating at 100%, far from this. Later, I will need a new 3D printer, I'm now waiting for the new Elegoo Mars Pro to be available. Then, mouldings and so on. Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrotten Highlander Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Keep working at your own pace, don't pressure yourself. Depression is hard enough to fight on its own, no need to add more battles to it. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
