Sauragnmon Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Mmmmmm X-02 Wyvern... Damn those Japanese model-producers for only selling the Fracking thing in Japan. Edited December 9, 2008 by Sauragnmon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 alright, got the rest of the wing layers cut out and am beginning final assembly on them. Scribing in the flaps and panel lines on the wings this way will be a roaysl bi*ch I know but It'll be worth the effort. I've decided agaisnt an actual hinge assembly as that would frankly be waay to hard to make for my skill level. It'll just be a friction fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Firekin' 'ell! That thing is made of 100% pure, unadulterated AWESOME. :lol: Without a doubt your best design yet! :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TaiidanTomcat Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Excellent job!! looks like a cooler more Flanker-like version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Well, i finally decide to get her back out and at least scribe the wing flaps before it all has to get packed-up for the 600 mile trip home for Christmas break, and it seems my final hobby knife has been stolen. I did not loose them, becasue one does not loose three fresh hobby knives (and the handles they were in!) and not find at least one! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!. But anyway I'm back on the wagon with this bird. Look soon for pics of the wing flaps and maybe the whole wing assemblies glued together (like I said, the swing mechanism will just be a friction fit) and work to commence on the autonomous booster/drone that'll be riding piggyback.

JasonW Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Since I want the wings to be moveable I'm building them in a snadwich-style fashion on the aircraft. Here's the first peice of bread glued on the aircraft: I like the forward swept configuration, it looks cool, but I do have a question......Do you urinate just, plain, straight Sierra Mist? Sorry, had to ask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, had to ask. No, I just had no place to put the cans (we're supposed to have a bag to collect the recyclables so we can get the deposit back on the drink containers) and they're at least a month old.

sv51macross Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 So..any progress? The batteries 'went missing' out of mky camera, but I have found my knives...all three of them...yes...they were on my desk under the mess...anyway I've resumed work on the wings and I might be able to get shots up by tomorrow night when I get home (eight-ten hours in the car...damn good thing I've got 3 and a half weeks off for Christmas!).

sv51macross Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Got some work done. Built the rudder while watching Shikabane Hime (check it out, it's awesome!) and used K'nex and plastic epoxy. the parts laid out, K'nex ball joint cut and glued the rudder folded for high-speed and takeoff/landing the rudder unfolded for manuvering And the last two showing the articulation Couldn't resist, my 1:1 lunkhead; Shadow Edited December 19, 2008 by sv51macross Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sv51macross Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 I know. Sorry, I just found the little thing in the menu that disables the date tags. Progress: gluing the wings. Port wing is together and stable but the starboard wing isn't being the most co-operative (From now on I don't care how long it takes I'm making solid wings!) and its dropping, so it'll take some time. Progect is nearing paintbooth, I just have to adjust the canopies, get a 1:48 nude female figure (this is an aircraft from my book, G-suit function is taken over by the smooth muscles in the pilot's body so all that's needed is something insulative), get the TV nozzles finalized, and fix the canards.

What about all the survival equipment that's in a flight suit/G-suit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 What about all the survival equipment that's in a flight suit/G-suit? I was thinking something along the lines of Major Motoko Kusanagi's inviso/combat suit (Ghost in a Shell Stand Alone Complex), with a utility belt having several medium pouches/weapon holster and a couple more pockets on the chest. that, or the Ejection seat headrest has all the survival gear the suit would normally carry. I dunno. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Way cool! Really like the ventral fin. Will you make some kind of aerodynamic fairing for the ball joint? Maybe that would have been easier had you put the ball on the fin instead of the fuselage, though. Cute pooch! Edited December 20, 2008 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Originally it was going to be the ball on the fin, but it just worked out this way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Because of a mistake I made there is the very likely possibility of this piece of shi* being sent to the f****** ashcan. Just a heads-up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Yep. It's confirmed. just ripped the ****ing left wing the **** apart. Down the ****ing rabbit hole we go to the ****-can! Edited January 3, 2009 by sv51macross Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Alright. Now that I've cooled down, I am for the time abandoning this project. I attempted to make strengthening blankets for the wings and fuselage, but after seeing that they looked horrible, tried to remove them. Well, I tore the left wing apart as a result. As I cannot deal with it right now I am putting it away and you will not see it until spring break when I retrieve it. Really sorry, it was looking so good too.

ChernayaAkula Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Oh man! :( Too bad. I thought it was a very promising project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 It's not completely scrapped, just on long-term hold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
