Unfortunately, we had to stop for a while and get the shop ready for winter. After some unsuccessful, complicated solutions, simply stringing rope across the open space at the level of the doors enabled us to lower the ceiling so the heat we use will stay put!

The original pattern, on the right, was configured for being molded as a whole. This shape was made from thick styrene and covered with detail castings. The objective here was to be able to make the propulsion module as one casting so nothing would come apart years later.

The castings were 'slush' castings, meaning resin was poured... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CaptCBoard) http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/422 Fri, 17 Nov 2006 22:47:39 GMT http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/420/t/Discovery-Update.html feeds@yuku.com (CaptCBoard) http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/420 Sat, 11 Nov 2006 02:46:59 GMT http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/427/t/Forward-escape-hatch-pressure-bulkhead-is-it-missing-.html

I am having real trouble with step 2 of the Mercury model escape tower. The three parts #37 go into the base ring, number 36. No matter what I do, one of the "V" shaped #37 strut bases buldges out a little, rather than in. This results in the assembled tower not being straight in the verticle. If I try to bring the third #37 strut base in more like the other two, then the tower does not fit as it's legs (#'s 31, 32, 33) no longer match up with the base struts.

Step 5 of the instructions states that the forward nose faring should NOT be glued to the middle parachute/retro ring. But there is no locking mechanism for the two, so if you want to display the model with the faring on, it MUST be glued. Or am I missing something?

This is most of the kit. There are 6 regular spine modules in total, aside from the antenna module itself, but I've only shown 2 of them here. These show how the mounting holes are predrilled and the faces have been sealed. Both of those steps would be a nightmare without the proper tooling! The surface detail plates are left off-- the builder has to put those on.

The talented moffeaton built up the kit and painted it for me (ala Red 5). The weathering is absolutely awesome! If that wasnt enough (it looks great already), I designed some "special" electronics that he also installed. The cockpit has static lights, while R2 has working PSI eyelights and the engine lights flicker like in the movie. I just love lights in my models. feeds@yuku.com (hyperdyne) http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/448 Mon, 15 Sep 2003 11:00:35 GMT http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/449/t/Lighting-my-X-Wing-FINISHED-.html I'm done!! - Added a Hyperdynelabs.com custom led package... we've pretty much nailed the color of the engine lights! One led is static, and the other flickers, simulating engine thrust !

As I examine various references it is surprising how many ways that the dimensions of the Discovery are interpreted. The dimensions of Shane Johnson's blueprints show a sphere diameter of 60.5 feet. Jack Hagerty and Jon Rogers in their 'Spaceship Handbook' call out a 40 foot diameter sphere. Starship Modeler web references give the diameter of the large model (54' long) as 6 feet, in scale with a 13" pod,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (gmoulton) http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/443 Tue, 11 Feb 2003 20:54:40 GMT http://atomiccity.yuku.com/topic/442/t/Prototype-Photos.html
