Another test run needed so that means another chunk but this time in EasyJet orange. I’m sure Stelios would be glad to have a Fairey Large instead of a 737 in the fleet? Looks rather jolly in these colours, almost a shame to prime and paint it in drabber hues. So... ideas for a finish please. Aluminium, Interceptor grey or Grey/Green camo (or the EE Lightning solid green)? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis95 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 These look fantastic mate. Looking forward to seeing more. As for finish, you simply can't beat the Green/Grey RAF look! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Interceptor grey, maybe with a coloured tail. AW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hole in the ground Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 This is awesome work Inspired by this thread, I’ve had a quick bash at my own M52 Engine details are just TLAR And will be barely visible. But the rear bypass fan and reheat burners are interesting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I've been thoroughly enjoying your design/build (and at the same time thanking my lucky stars that the drawings I'm working from let me work in relatively simple shapes) - I'm pondering one of those CAD mice now to be able to play even easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some progress on that front, it looks like with a collaboration in the works I'll be able to run a batch of these off on a resin printer allowing a lot more detail from the start of July onwards so will do a revision or two and some more detail and be able to offer these and the others to folks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kushan_Farsight Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Some great work going on here! Must say also looks like you've mastered another level of precision on your 3D Printer - looked almost resin print quality! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like running it constantly for helping get used to the quirks and snags. Still regularly a pain in the bahookie (like this morning when it took an hour of faff to get started and running) but getting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment alone makes me think this isn't the first time I've come across your designs. Glad I've finally found somewhere to see you designing and building these kits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I errr... I may have gotten distracted from aviation and been playing with geometry for a little while so there have been digressions into model making in both paper and wood and Digressions aside I may have come into possession of a nice new 6-axis mouse for 3D modelling (my bank account blames @TheBaron for leading me astray) and that led me back to Fusion 360 and some aircraft again. So... wings and a tailplane got added to the SR.187 and Still a great deal of work to do (even just to get used to using the new mouse and interacting with the software) but at least it looks halfway like a plane now 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 @Space Ranger All of the projections certainly look a bit flat Earthy. I did a Dymaxion globe with the pathways of early human migration (estimated based on mitochondrial DNA) and to be honest it made a lot more sense of why and how early people got around when you see the Earth's landmasses as one extended chain of islands surrounded by a sea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I promise this is still ongoing. Just having a good long think Fairey Large has been glued together and had a first pass with primer and sanded to see high spots and gaps. Am having a muse and raiding the spares box for underwing fuel tanks and stores 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
