  1. You Philistine you. It will be a 1/48 Stranraer. And this is not a wish. It's a fact. S., still busy with that bloody Shackleton engine nacelle
  2. An A-10A is supposed to be released after that one IIRC. S.
  3. I've decided to use the squishy thing between my ears for a change. I have baroque results when I print the nacelle without the gear doors. So I made a chamfer around the gear doors (to ease the separation between the doors and the nacelle) and combined them to the nacelle. This should work much better... S.
  4. Hi, Thanks to both. There's no bulkhead. I've added support, it's in the printer right now. S.
  5. Hi folks, My latest blooper: What can cause this shift (seen inside the part too)? Oh, and there's another shift just around the gridlike stuff on the sides of the part... TIA, S.
  6. With bigger holes on the support, everything prints. BUT. Suction cup effect ruins the cowling front. So I added a 1 cm shift in one support and printed a pair. I'll go by pairs from now on. And one thing that went as smoothly as I could hope: So thanks to all who answered, put up with my stubborness, withstood my being foolish, and who were generally much nicer than I should have hoped for. You're great, guys! S.
  7. Hi, I've switched to JamgHe Standard Plus Resin 10k. It's cheaper, and I haven't had a single mishap (well, I've had some, but they were my fault without exception).
  8. Thanks a lot Adrian. I'd like to build it with removable wings, and store it in a crate (with belly supports). It should rest on its wheels only at model shows. Cheers, S.
  9. I submitted the parts to the world famous Yefim Gordon's book test. That is, I put Gunze bottles under the wheel axles, and put Yefim Gordon's Fulcrum book on top of the parts (all 6 lbs of it). It holds.
  10. I did a test print of the main landing gear. It's far from finished, but I wanted to know about it's strength. There are a couple of design blunders, but it's not that bad. Now, I have to glue the wheels and see what's what.
  11. Hi Ian, I replaced the FEP filter with an nFEP one, cleaned everything and sent the single engine set to print: total success now. I fail to see where the extensions I made as supports (only for the engine cowling and the spinner parts) are a problem. There are ten 4mm diameter half circle holes thet go through them at the bottom, ten more at the top for the cowling, 6 top/bottom for the spinner. The only bit I have succion with is the front of the cowling, and it's rather visible on the surface of the part.
  12. Hi, There are supports for the big parts. And there are half circular holes (2mm radius) all around them.
  13. Sure. I haven't changed the settings since I calibrated the printer using the cones of calibration. The single set I have printed succesfully: The set I'm failing to print with the same resin as for the print above: I'm thinking the resin sticks too much to the FEP. S.
