hatchet Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) As you might have seen, I was asking about info on WE177s I got some So, I've begun scratching a WE177. So far, the materials used are from Hase Weapons Set I, US Bombs and Rocket Launchers. I'm using the 19-shot rocket-pods for this, they're about the right diameter. glued together 3 pod bodies Filled the cavity in the nosecone Nosecone on and 2*two more glued to make the bottom-end All for now. The reason you aren't seeing very many in-prog pic's from me is, that my projects have a tendency to stall after a while. I hope that doesn't happen here Edited June 14, 2007 by hatchet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchet Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 Not that much happening, but I've gotten the shapes about right. Next up is scribing and making the fins for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchet Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Not that much happening, but I've gotten the shapes about right.Same-o Scribed the buggers, partly anyway The one on the second pic needs another visit from the scribing tool methinks And I need to figure out about access hatches and such, and how visible they are. Also need to do 'chutes for one of them, I've found out that there were 4! Oh the fun I'll have with those ...maybe I should do a toss-bombing "dio", not laydown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) Since you have taken the time to do this and the fact they look very good indeed, why not cast them? I actually think that we could have a thread dedicated to casting parts, so that once someone who is brave enough could cast parts for others whilst doing their own.............................just a thought ....ED/ADMIN?

I think Loki could 'ave a point there matey... if there are none around & they were well used (I don't know, soz ), it's worthwhile thinking about it... or even just selling some masters to a producer?

They're also built adhering to TLAR, following a computer printout of a drawing on t'internet (wikipedia even ).I suppose they were fairly common Mike, WE177 was the UKs tactical, strategic and naval nuke, in various subtypes.
