Alan Gorham_ Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think your thread is in the wrong forum section Ade. It should be in the mass build 2020 thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 There looks to be a lot of wood in that package; I wonder if there's enough for more than one Sabre? Courier just dropped this off at 4.58pm. Think I may just finish work and get home to clear the building board. Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Garsden Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Watching this one Flyer. I was going to have a crack at this version. I went to Halfords and they told me they were out of stock after a bloke in South Wales bought the entire nation's stock? Incidentally just finished the Vulcan book - really enjoyed it and quite emotional too, reads like a thriller. Will let you have it back at the next meeting.

No problem Pete, it's a good read for someone who has an interest in Vulcans. Not 100% sure about that gold paint though, seems to weigh heavier than silver...…….

Mark Kettle 1 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Maybe Nugget ( I forgot we christened you with that name at one of the meetings ) back to the gold paint heavier thing, you maybe need more thinners around the gold ingot your using?

Flyer Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Finally commenced building with the air brakes! First attempt at 3d printing, and another 3 to make. I'll be facing off the 3d print with balsa to conform to the fuselage profile. Hopefully show the hinging geometry shortly (once I've worked it out). Will be building properly in February.

dirk tinck Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Will be following Ade,my brakes are as good as ready !Took me 2 weeks tough... Good luck ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 ... "building properly in February", Ade? I do realize it's not a F1 GP, but my best guess is you will be painting the 'conservatory' in Gold again... Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Busy couple of weeks ahead Chris, so I thought I can sort out the 3d printed air brakes, so that when I'm building they should just slot in. I've also 'negotiated a two week period in Feb that I need to be home from work...…….' Building will commence at a rapid rate then, helped I must say, by the efforts of the lads. Will be making a 'special' canopy plug in the next few weeks, in between work. Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 FINALLY ! Laid down plans this afternoon and have made a start. Have also been trying out new 3D printer to fill the cockpits ! Hope to join fuselage of number one next weekend. Started with the fuselage as I have been dreading the planking, and have never built a model like this before. Thanks to the other bloggs, and by studying the plans, it's actually quite straightforward. Few pics to date. Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
