2nd Pack scratchbuild, PIC INTENSIVE

Looking good, man!

Extremely pretty -great build pics.

Is that my bumper? Does that mean you’ve got that puppy molded?

What did you make all the top “box” parts from? Thats a VERY clean build!

Yes it’s your bumper, I have to completely redo the mold tho. Right after I cast the first half, before I was able to order more silicone. My wife flipped her car so I had to take off for a couple weeks, by the time I got back the silicone had shrunk some and it was too late to do the other half. I’ll probably get it molded in the next couple weeks. I really want to get it back to you.

Gareee, everything in this build is either styrene or sintra. The cosmetic plates and ribbing are sintra while everything else is styrene. I used a laminated shelf board to cut the blocks to keep the synchronus generator square.

However the cyclotron is cast from my old mold since there was nothing wrong with it.

Making a little progress, I’m hoping to finish the pack next week

Looks perfect! Will you be adding the extra cosmetic plates around the cyclotron? Also I don’t know if you know but i sell the base that that R-331 sits on. Shoot me a PM if you’d like, but i’m sure a guy of your talents will have no trouble building one.

You going to conserve your resin this time around? lol

Thanks nick! I actually made that part lastnight, just need to sand it and whatnot. I’ll be adding the extra plate, I just wanted to make sure my seam where the spacer meets the generator would be invisible before adding them.

TC, Yes I am haha, brushing on silicone this time.

Looks great! Can’t wait to see it done! :cool:

Nothin says progress like a blurry picture!

NO NO NO! thats all wrong…looking good man

It’s getting there, I should have the shell all buttoned up in the next day or two. Thursday I’m going to try and pick up some silicone to mold it. Hopefully I’ll have a lead on the other parts and have the money to mold them at the same time, if not the following week.

I love that thing. No really, I do. This is going to make an extremely clean shell. I’m jealous! :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks Filandrius.

Here’s what the inside looks like if anyone was curious

Very clean Pat, looking forward to assembling one of these bad boys.

Thanks chris, I can’t wait to mold it! that being said… IT’S DONE!! I’ll most likely find a few things here and there to tidy up before molding it, but by all means, it’s done!

Hot damn. I hate to repeat myself, but this is perfect. I can’t wait to see the shells you’ll pull from this. I can’t think of one single thing I’d modify.

You’ve… You’ve earned it. :crunch:

I’d put a slot for the booster tube, but that’s me.

Thanks guys, TC I was going to make a slot for the booster tube but didn’t just due to the fact that after i got it all assembled I wouldn’t be able to fit a piece of plastic in there to do so. However the tube that comes with the kit will be cut to the exact angle.
