architect Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I started this project of a Lancaster in 1/72, based on the Revel kit. The surgery got a little bigger than planed, and I am not sure what I am getting into. So far I sanded the fuselage halves, paper thin and scratch built the bomb bay. Then I decided to redo it in 3D printing along with the formers. Feel free to shoot. Edited February 1, 2016 by architect 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Coombs Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I am well impressed by the look of the printed parts. How sturdy are they? I mean, can you handle them normally without risk of them breaking, or did you need to print a lot of spares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
architect Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Steve. You are right they need special attention. But the alternative of bending those frames, and opening weight holes is beyond my abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Better photos, thanks! Great work too, Do you do your own 3D printing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Start a mass production cos I would like some . . . They look awesome but I think I would have just produced them for the cockpit and nose, sadly the fuselage beyond the main spar will never be seen. It quite a different take on a 72nd build so I will watch with great interest. The thought of 3Dprinting brings all kinds of ideas to mind such as a fuselage section being replace on a dio or even a wing section, each showing 3D ribbing in place. Look forward to seeing more Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Coombs Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Just imagine the fun you could have building a Wellington, with its geodetic fuselage structure, either being fitted with its material covering during assembly (Hangar TS at Weybridge?), or with fire damage after a raid...
