Test print of the superstructure is done - next (full size - 1/144) version will have the mission bay included.

Got busy with other things this week....some hiccups getting the new printer sorted out too.

 

VERY happy with the Bambu H2S so far.

 

That said, some parts and bits have shown up in the mail this week - VLS rocket pack quick connectors, prop shafts, and my Keith Bender 5 bladed modern props.  2mm thread, 28mm outside diameter.

 

VERY pleased with them.

 

The hull should be finished printing tomorrow afternoon.  Of note, the Bambu is about 2-3 times faster than the Prusa.  Plus a heated chamber.  Amazing.

Here's how she looks on the Bambu...hull is almost done printing.  I'll be printing the rest of the superstructure over the coming days.

The props certainly look the part. And I've got the 4 main hull modules assembled as of this morning, with 2 of the 4 superstructure modules printed and ready to go.

 

I've got another project on the printers tonight, so the rest of the superstructure will be delayed by a day or so...not a big deal.

 

The new print files are looking pretty good - some minor adjustments needed for fit, and they will still need a lot of sanding to smooth out the facets, but I'm generally pleased with how things look so far.

Where do you find that putty? Is that the putty used by Car Body Shops? I have been trying to find some pink/reddish putty that does not need to be mixed with a catalyzer or hardener, without success. I am using the Tamiya putty, but it becomes expensive when you need a lot.
