So what can you do with some Drawings I wonder. I met Andy (General Melchett) a while back and he showed me some excellent Drawings he had for A Vulcan B1 in 1/144th scale.
He kindly sent them to me as a scan but unable to print them off they where a curiosity I had studied and still do for ages at a time.
Then a few weeks later I found a copy of the drawings in print form to scale. I come from a long line of engineers but have no clue about how its done and always wondered how I anyone sets about converting 2D drawings into 3D objects.
After many cups of Coffee and a week at home skint I had not much to do and thought I would have ago at trying to figure it out. I thought, Tracing paper !..
So I got some Tracing paper and plasticard and decided to do this :
I thought I would have ago at making just the tail cone for A Vulcan B1 or Early B2 i used some 3m spray glue to affix the tracing paper for the bulkhead plan and side views of the cone.
And then I cut them out. and glued them together.
I am not a scratch builder I have dabbled and my first read go was the Intakes for the Frog Vulcan I am working on so I am seeing what I can do with this now.
So to anyone interested grab a coffee or tea, Perhaps a brandy and lets see what happens with this. It could be a long build...
Cheers Rob
