Stingray Build

[RCnut]

Well thats it now, Main hull done, I adjusted the side outlets and smoothed out the bottom of the hull. A few details to add and I think thats it.

A work of art! Hey, is that blue toilet paper? Ive never seen blue toilet paper before.

Very nice. I see you use all the same materials I do too- Upol filler, Halfrauds primers and 3M acryl red putty. Spooky!

Are you going to mould the hull in three parts, top bottom and cabin. Or will the cabin be vac-formed in clear plastic?

At the moment my plan is to mould the cabin in the same stuff as the main hull. It will have all the window detail on it so the builder will have to cut them out and add glass, or I may make up another bigger vac former and do it in plastic for the static modelers. Not sure yet.

Well I had a quiet day yesterday, It was my good ladys Birthday so I was busy doing other things. However I'm plesed to say that Its 99.9% done and within a 4 week period, a personal best for this size model. As you can see (just) the windows and ports are all "recessed" and the rear clear ratemaster star is done, needs a touch of cleaning up but there you are. Moulds to follow with an intended release (No pun intended) for the end of July.

I have been following this and I am amazed. How do you do what you do? Willing to do a tutorial?
Thank you for sharing your work!
Peace,

Looks really great. Did you consider putting recesses in for the fins like
you did for skydiver?

I put those in Skydiver as they are easily knocked off, Stingrays ones are not as vunerable. So no.

Quick update, Rubber ordered as well as clear resin so i should be in business by the end of next week.

[RCnut]

This is what will be put under rubber, all tidied up and signed.

You sigh your work! Anyone else, I would call that ego-out-of-control.


You?...

Magnificent.
