A/SB-01 B-17R "Bladewing"

Gerry, the vibrating table "might" work, but most probably won't. What you really need is a vacuum chamber. The vac enlarges the air bubbles so they rise and pop easier. It also will draw out the air in the mold so that when the vac is released the air will push the resin down into the mold details.

I know Paul just trying to do it the redneck way ...... You see I have a heating pad that the switch and other stuff went bad in ...... so if you put that on a square piece of wood .... mounted on springs on the corners ....... It may just work ..... ldguy

I'm thinking I will try the vacuform way first. Just need to buy a few materials to make a box!!

Should be soon, I'll try and get back to this now that I have a few deadlines out of the way!

While I ponder away on making a vac form box and how to tackle so other elements of this project, I figure it's time to get back at it!

I decided to try to tackle my engine issues. Gotta turn 4 Wright R-1820 Cyclones into turbo jets!

My first attempt was to try and cut a few blades out by hand. I quickly realized this would take forever! :gogo

So, then I came up with a way to make numerous blades in a few steps.

How's this look??

got to try and get one sample engine together, then I can copy it to the other three. More on this later!

Convinced me.

 

[Adam Baker]

Looks very convincing to me! I like how you did that.

[sharkman]

Thank you gentlmen! You too Ed!

Played around a bit this morning too. Using the parts from the Aires B-58 Hustler kit,

as well as a test tube and cap, some aluminum tape and some old sprue...

an engine is starting to take shape!

It'll still need some more wiring and tubing but its coming together!

It's been awhile!

I'm going to get back on this soon but I've come to the realization that it is too big a project for a campaign. I didn't account for how busy my spring and now summer would be and how I wouldn't exactly have time to test some vacuforming.

So, I'll continue on with it at a snails pace!
