Didn't want to print the launcher ? looking forward to your progress... Pat Well most of the details will be printed. However my printer is rather small and the main side pieces would have been broken up into 3 pieces. Also I have had difficulties printing long thin parts. They tend to warp. And the resin prints tend to be rather brittle. Since I had a large supply of 40 thou plastic sheet it seemed to be the best option.

Finn Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I used Bing image search, it sometimes has other pictures than what Google comes up with. I found this with Bing as well: Jari Dandiego and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missile with the big orange markings on the nose looks pretty cool. Add the yellow launcher........ Dan themongoose and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Another very cool project, Dan. The Regulus II is on my list as well... but I have to finish that Vigilante first. Keep those updates coming! Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Working on the work platform. First I have a pic of the finished wheel hub. Next the ladder with the work platform. And last is the front jack stand. Now printing platform supports and railings. This is fun.

Jboldt007 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 wow... Monogram did some crazy stuff over the decades! Did this thing actually exist? I guess it did. Never seen it before. Actually the dryer adds a nice analogue feel to the shot. I recently sat in the cockpit of an old F-104 and it seemed like something one could cobble together with stuff bought at the local Home Hardware shop. Crazy to think one could fly at twice the speed of sound flicking toggle switches and pulling cable activated levers and twirling small plastic knobs. Allot of the stuff from this era looks super spacey but as my dad said, who worked with one of the earliest computers (the ILLIAC computer at the U of Illinois in the 1950s), the entire Apollo moon landings of the 1960s could today be managed on a I-phone.

Dandiego Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Railings and supports. Here are the parts fresh off of the printer. And the railings in place. Actually I have them reversed. I will fix, I know what I did wrong. Thanks, Dan denders, Dekon, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Ok once I added all of the parts for the work platforms I realized that they were not level or square. So I pulled them apart, reprinted a few parts and reassembled. So here they are more or less complete. Still need railings on the right side. Also I added the rear jackstands but they look a little puny to me so I will need to replace with something a little more robust.
