richy Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 To close the post on the engine, i send you a few picts of the engine in the plane All open ready for the big overhaull.... and it still closes.... this is a pict of what was the original project : just opening the front door. So i spent more more time on the final project. It was a good idea to listen at your comments and go further on detailing. To give you an idea of the extra material, i had to add 75g on the nose if i didn’t whant to see my bug sit on the nozlles... Now the good part beguins, it will soon look like a plane.

Lansen Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Insane sounds like an understatement, you're completly nuts! Better keep it up Richy, if we were all sane there would be no modelers at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mullen Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 You know, you should really return that Hornet back to the Airbase you pinched it from This is some of the best modelling I have seen - you should recieve a bonus from Boeing for this Richy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil_J Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 You know, you should really return that Hornet back to the Airbase you pinched it from :D This is some of the best modelling I have seen - you should recieve a bonus from Boeing for this Richy. :( Forget a bonus - this is the guy who should be paying for the use of intellectual property :lol: Just kidding. Stunning, stunning work Richy. If I could acheive such a great metallic finish on my models it would be a start - but all that scratch building!! Amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AD-4N Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Man, I don't know. Why do I come here and look at those photos. Depresses the hell out of me. You are incredible. I have the same kit sitting on the shelf, and it will probably stay there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmthamade Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Richy, how much research time do you put into the components of the Bug? I can`t see this being an hour or two of checking refs then hitting the workbench. Something like this seems like a full time effort/job. Also, could you give us a guesstimate on the number of parts that went into the engine? I took a look at my kit and the stock engines have nine parts each. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afterburner Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 yeah, right, uh.... why am I modeling? OH YEAH!! It's to try and come close to matching the masters like you RICHY!!!!! Very NICE job!!! Outstanding! Where's the thesaurus???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkimages Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Not bad, but the secondary compressor pressure sensor manifold should be more of a yellowish color. Plus, the rotational-alignment electronics box is too far aft. I keed, I keed :blink: . This is shaping up to be one of the most amazing bits of modeling I've ever seen. Truly inspirational. Any chance this will show up in Atlanta in July? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
