I'm going to sound dull here, I thought the wings were going to be spread, yet I see detail being added into the folds?

You're not alone James, I'm confuddled too! But if Iunderstand right, Bill is building that wingfold detail to make moulds for the next Brick (Frog one?) Do I understand right Bill? If I am, isn't it a bit of a waste to spread the wings on this one...?! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Bucc buck making it is guys I still want to look at the S1 with her feathers all a'spread but I'm happy to use this one as the 'ways and means' test rig Then when I get into the second one I can decide whether I'm having an S2 or a 1 folded up I have to check the radome innards for changes between the marks too The wing fold planning now is due to an offer I made a couple of days ago, if the casting goes well I have a friend who will be receiving the first useable set to practise with I will also be playing with the Vixen's folding bits too shortly Edited August 16, 2017 by perdu 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't @Fritag something to do with the law these days? If so I'll get him to do my defence. Failing that, I'll claim political asylum when I come up to Scotland next month and you will have five members in the Argyle branch of BM!

perdu Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hmm whilst you lot plot a coup agin the Sturgin I have been having fun with plasticene let there be Colour I have built the pot to mix my rubber into so I can try a cast of this unneeded frippery Plasticene inner and masking tape latex catcher shell looks about right for fold detail Deep enough? find out tomorrow new rubber supplier too, these guys also supplied my resin the last two times but of course I forget who they are and its a long way down to the garage so I'll tell you tomorrow Obviously I think this will work but as I so often say It's only a game 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a mean looking beast in it's original strike guise, the TT role kinda messed with it a bit! @TheBaron , there was the old vacform that our tentacled one refers to, and Magna released both the Mk1 and TT2 & 3 as resin kits - they have your name written all over them!

My lot were Vikings (Yes,I know the horns are a myth!) Beardie's probably got Reivers in his history so between the two of us you're totally gubbed and that's before we find out that Jockney's probably a Pict. On the Sturgeons.
