Timmy! Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Quick update....big parts put together. Starting to look like something now. Timmy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy! Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi all, Here some of the best shots of the recent work. I have continued on with the fuselages with a few panels added and I have cut the next section aft of cockpit nose section previously assembled. Also I cut some forms for the windscreen. Plus a lot of CAD work has been done as well. I hope to get photos of that work up soon. But what I do have to show off are three parts just about ready for molding. The seat bucket cushion and back support. More soon...I hope. Timmy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Timmy! Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Definitely not a dead project. Believe it or not I think about this beast daily and fit in what work I can when I can. Here's a teaser of the latest work. And.... ....How about another video? Been a while. Not overly instructive really more demonstration and insight to the level of planning I'm undertaking. I moved a few months ago and have been without my CNC mill and 3D printer. But those are now up an running again and producing parts. I just completed some parts for the nose gear well, that should end the major construction of the nose assembly. Next step will be to mate the nose assembly to the next section aft that encompasses the section from the intakes to the forward bulkhead for main gear well. Several of those parts have been milled as well. Photo's to follow soon. Promise! Timmy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy! Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Got a new part complete enough to share. The canopy frame Mk.2. This is a printed part with some styrene details added. There was a significant bit of work getting this part fitted to the fuse and cockpit sills. The canopy closes and "locks" over the cockpit seals and the canopy locks fit into receptacles on the cockpit sills. I'll post photo's of the that fitment once I have all the parts completed. The clear section is 0.040" vacuum formed acrylic. Exterior framing remains to be done as well as the hinges. With any luck this will be a operable assembly on the model. Timmy! P.S. I've re-posted these vids of the 16th scale version. Polishing techniques were used on this version too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy! Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Here are a couple of follow up shots to demonstrate the fit. The canopy and sill details mesh together such that there is a press fit between the parts when the canopy is closed. There is still lots of skin and fairing bits to be added to take care of the obvious gaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy! Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hello everbody! Big update today. I have finally finished the forward section of the aircraft. The parts you see represent the "base" layer of detail as these are to be cast parts. Hence the "completed...mostly" comment. A ton of work went into the surface, seams and joints to give this puppy a least a chance of producing good castings. I would be so much further along is I was not building and having to worry about making copies. More explanation here: http://www.timmystech.com/jaguar-fuselage-masters How's about some photos?: Here's a shot of the next bit to come. As always thanks for checking in! More later, Timmy!

janman Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Crap. Seems I'm all late from the party. Brilliant work with the panels on the nose. And that seat! The cushion looks genuinely soft! Gotta start right from the page one and enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
