Sorry about the OOT, but the Tu-95 is one of Titan Models next year projects... Back to topic: my long stagnating Shackleton is getting back on the bench... And I'm taking lots of notes. S.

The main wheel is done. As always, if anybody can point me to bits I could have done wrong, please do. To be continued... S.

I made the bulge on the wheel: The method is detailed there: And then I made the interior of the wheel, which is once again hurting donkeys. I still have to do the tyre tread. TBC, S.

Hi, I've just tried a method, but I'm not quite satisfied. This is the wheel, and I prepared a sketch for removing where the flattened portion will be: Portion removed: Then I drew the lower flattened section of the tyre. And a couple of rails for the loft to come: And then the loft itself: I find the result in the meh- range. And this works rather well with smooth tyres. For a diamond-pattern tyre, you can forget it. There's a way using a Fusion generated stl file with Blender, but I haven't tried it so far. Edit : I added a couple of rails for the loft, and it's much better IMHO: S.

Is this what's called a straw man fallacy, or does it suspiciously look like it? S.

Yup. D (Vietnam camo), H (silver/white) and G (to be determined). So I have two more engine nacelles to design... S.

The WIP is there: The parts are waiting for my Mars 4 screen to arrive: I've started working on the main wheel: To be continued... S.

TBH, I don't know. I removed it and did it again, and then it was OK. Sorry I can't help you on that topic... S.

It seems my rear revolution was deeply flawed. I redid the sketch and the revolution (and all the bits and bobs that go on it), and everythng was fine again.

It says "Echec du calcul - Echec de la création de l'objet" Compute Failed - Failed creating object. I'll try the extrusion. S.

Ian, The plate does meet the tank. S.

No, you can only create a sketch on a flat surface.

Hi, I'm trying to create a protruding plate on my Tornado tank (the blue bit in the pic below): I made a body (sketch, extrusion) that I moved in place. And for reasons I can't fathom, I can't combine the two bodies in one. Any idea? TIA, S.

Hi Colin, It hadn't been ignored so far in this scale, but it would have been better if it had... FM released it. Cheers, S.

Hi, As I'm trying to upgrade a bit my Sanger B-52s, I'm looking for pictures of the inner side of the wheel. I have quite a few B-52 wheel pictures, but none I can use to design that side of the wheel. TIA S. (also an Alice Cooper fan)

I received the printer today, but I'm afraid the touchscreen is fried.

Typing in English on a French telephone is always a source for entertaining typos.

Nevers said they were to be yours...

And now, cut in 4 parts and I hope ready for printing: Hope you enjoyed the WIP, S.

I think it's not too bad... I've made the NACA scoops the way Nick told me, and it's waaaaaaaaaaaay simpler than anything I could have done on my own. So here it is: Edit: the pitot inside the ntake went AWOL when I corrected the mlistakes I wrote I'd live with (spoiler alert: I didn't). I redid it. I'm going to split it in printable parts. Please please please, before I start burning resin (yes, I know), if you see problems with the shapes, the lines, whatever, tell me! To be concluded soon (I hope).

Well, it should arrive tomorrow. Me very happy.

I contacted Elegoo France through their chat. I told them that according to their site, my order would be sent at the end of October, and that if I placed an order at Amazon I would get it at the end of the week. 10 minutes later, I had a parcel coming via TNT. Me happy.

Thanks for your answer. I had read somewhere the Aires nozzles were a bit small in diameter. I'll give them a try (I have a couple or three British Phantoms to build). S.

As usual, a kidney or two...

Hi, I intend to make a part for the intakes, one for the body (that I'll holow out), one for the nozzles and one or two for the pylon. And as I'm a total newbie in 3D printing, I expect I'll make my fair share of mistakes... S.
