Detail analysis, problem solving, fabrication, testing, back to the drawing board... A proper engineering job. Superb stuff 👏👏👏 Thanks Alan, I am giving my best to build this legendary beauty...

Serkan Sen Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Maybe some of you noticed that the A-12 was standing on toilet paper: The reason is simply having a heavy flu (not bad as Corona) and runny nose and tears in the eyes. Conventional paper tissues was not the solution... 🤧😭 Serkan Edited February 4, 2020 by Serkan Sen 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you hanging today? Lots, and I mean lots of water, sir. Cheers, Unc2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 5 minutes ago, Alan P said: I heard people were avoiding Chinatown because of the Coronavirus. True, Alan. There's been a lot of paranoia worldwide, especially, when the Chinese people are involved. There's a Chinese neighbourhood in the vicinity of the town of Belgrano, north from where I dwell here in Buenos Aires, and before the turmoil with regard to the Coronavirus was so widely spread, locals would love to go watch the festivities for the Chinese New Year, have some meals and stuff. This year though, nobody showed up. Locals were afraid of the Chinese relatives travelling in and out from China for the festivities; so sad... There are a lot of supermarkets owed by the Chinese down here, and I've seen people entering the store wearing a mask! It's like they would expect to see zombies shuffling away, and the logo of the Umbrella Corp associated to it. Gimme Milla Jovovich! Yeh, we're lost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Since couple of days there was not a progress on project because I realised that I have forgotten to add glare shield and fit windshield base... arrghh... idiot!... 🤪🤯 Yesterday I made necessary modifications on master parts and worked on silicone molds locally. I will see soon if it solves the problem. Idiot... Edited February 6, 2020 by Serkan Sen 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Masterful modeling going on here. You are opening my eyes about what’s possible using resin casting. When I’m finished with my current builds, maybe I’ll find a small project to experiment with some of the methods I’m seeing here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Uncool Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi Serkan! I see that your build is progressing alright. How's your flu feeling like? Runny nose stopped? You'd make a lot of quid if you sold those resin correction pieces on the market. They look just awesome; congrats. Hope you're doing better, mate. Yeh, me does....

Cheers, Unc2 Runny nose stopped but a terrible headache remains, and a continuous acedia and tiredness... I am not planning to turn my projects into business but for charity/foundation purposes and also partially to fund my feature projects I can make some of them available to purchase...

Uncle Uncool Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Good to know that you've stopped leaking water; that's half the problem about that illness. Two to three more days and you should be feeling better. Awlrighty then, I you ever needed funding for your future projects, here's Uncool Inc. waiting to assist you. Take care, my mate!

Serkan Sen Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) The problem was solved. The modified mold duplicates the part as desired: The upper left shows the 3 parts; initial part without glare shield and sinked windshield lower edge, the modified area on master piece and duplicated part using corrected mold. Next is to replace glare shield area on current A-12. Serkan Edited February 6, 2020 by Serkan Sen 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 On 03/02/2020 at 21:53, Serkan Sen said: My question is that if 06932 had the same background/primer beneath the tail number... Just look at the A-12/F-12 «group shot» and you’ll see these backgrounds under their tail numbers. I think the answer to that question is yes. 🤔 On 03/02/2020 at 22:53, Serkan Sen said: Most probably the paints for tail numbers, stencils and roundels were not sticking well to bare metal/titanium especially at high speed and temperature without having a special coating underneath. It’s very reasonable point, Serkan. I hope your health will be great soon, don’t forget to take a lot of sweet tea with a lemon! Excellent progress, as always. Is it you working on a forthcoming Revell release?! 😜 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nikolay, Thanks for your advice, this is exactly what I am doing.
