Been a while. Thanks for sticking with me guys. Life gets in the way sometimes Hand and wrist have sucked SO bad the last 3 months Dislocated my shoulder in my sleep, it takes a special talent to do that, it's probably a super power? 4 hours in emergency at 1am, that was fun. But, i will survive, good title for a song that. Plus…….. This scratch building really takes a long time man, especially when you have to make 8 of everything. Mold it i hear you cry. Would if i could but, i can't. Anyhoo, less whinging, more modeling Sooooooooo, Last time i said i needed to make a VacForming table…………….. Drawdeid it Cut, drilledeid and dry fit it, Stuck in me Vac adaptor Used silicone bathroom sealer like glue before i final fit them, used extra along the inside seams just to make sure to seal all edges Drilled the top plate Counter sunk the back face to give better air flow SilliGlued the top and screwed it down Hardware 45 ed the ends, drilled and countersunk the angle Screwed it up x2 Got me some clips and i'm ready to go…………………but I haven't had enough time to test it yet. I know I know Soooooooon I got this concept from these wonderful people at Punished props, so props to them I did re-do my first thing to be vacced though, the side dome Re-filled it, re-sanded, re-apoxied, re-sanded it and then re-primed it Ready to go Started the movable flaps on the engines Cut from a thermal cup package to get the curve i wanted Drew to scale on paper, cut out 8 layers of paper, double side, on the tube bish bash bosh Cut a slot and entry keyway with me dremel Used square tube, solid bar and round tube to make the internal structure of the flaps Currently half way through attaching the inner face of the flap in 1mm sheet on the 8 main assemblies And that's it so far I might be vac forming this weekend so stay tuned, might even do a proper video. Cheers Gagsterman

It's just sooooo over the top. My God! The work!
I'm just about getting ready to almost think about perhaps also doing some Vac-Forming. I'll be watching your setup and your results.

The work involved is just too crazy to fathom. I would not have the patience.

Well, a jolly good evening to everyone out there in MSC land Said i was back last time but i lied But this time i'm back or i may be lying depending on work and stuff This is going to be really picture heavy as i explain what I've been up to So here goes I think i had just started skinning the flaps last time I had been meaning to re do the model room for some time It was full of stuff and very disorganised and didn't inspire me at all So, i removed everything out onto the landing and ripped up the carpet painted the bare concrete floor Started by creating a new desk area Including a new corner spray booth with 2 new extractor fans Laid out all my tools after a good sort through So, now it was ready for some action This is what we were working on, the external details on the flaps There are two of these on each engine and i decided to split them into inner and outer versions mainly because i could find four of somethings but not eight as usual i made the first test single, then the other seven caught up These will end up as gratings for the light holes, two per flap Now in the process of covering and assembling each flap including two yellow lights in the tip, one white half way up and a red in the top Not as picture heavy as i thought, using Imgur for the first time Thats it for now be back soon Cheers Gag

Just learned of Anthony's passing in February. R.I.P Nylon Gag. You took on such epic projects. I hope you have plenty of time for models in the great workbench in the sky.

I'll have to echo Sabre's comments. I don't think I ever met Anthony, but his talents were self-evident.

Just got back on the site and am saddened to hear of the news of Gag's passing. What a truly creative and talented modeller. This is a masterpiece in construction. He will be missed.
