Considering to try it out. Oh that's great Doc, I though it was gone for good... SW is the ticket for this type of modeling, it's designed as a parametric (measurement based) modeler first and an image crafter second... The only other one I would recommend is Rhino, it's even more capable than SW, but but a LOT more technically oriented... For what we do, SW is perfect.... If I was modeling a ships hull I would jump to Rhino, other than that I stay in SW... mtaylor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 2 others 3 2 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"
Egilman Posted June 18, 2022 Author #92 Posted June 18, 2022 And an update.... When I last updated I had just finished the forward mount and managed to get it to stay up holding the forward compressor frame long enough to get a shot... Since I have finished the aft mount with the Aft Compressor Frame mounted, it's a bit more secure than the forward one is.... Next step was to get everything glued and painted up and see how it all works together.... I'll let the images speak for themselves.... Now on to detailing the engine...

Thank you very much Doc, it really appreciated... Currently taking a much needed break from modeling, the engine got a bit intense there for a bit... Will get back at it soon... Many thanks.. mtaylor, Old Collingwood and Canute 3 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"
Egilman Posted June 28, 2022 Author #95 Posted June 28, 2022 Ok brothers... About ready to get back at this... With some sad news... As predicted, the resin frame isn't strong enough to hold the weight of the engine... That's only five days sitting on the shelf... I'm gonna have to either scratch build it and figure out a way to reinforce the frame, or a different stand... Probably a 1/8th plastic tube with a 1/16th brass rod inside.. Didn't even make it a week... Anyway, still need a few days recuperation, but I'll be getting back to it either this or the airframe in the near future... Thanks for following and the likes...
