OK,Jase - let's do it this way: You send me the parts,and I'll recast them in polyester resin,and automotive RTV,as I know both of these materials,and I have used them before. This should only cost me about $25.00 at the most. I can do small parts without the worry of casting bubbles,or pressurising the silicone to keep these from warping. I can use these about ten times before I have to make new moulds,so it shouldn't take more than a couple of days to copy most of these.
I'm ready for the fuselage in my mind,but I NEED to finish all the other parts first! I've started the Saturn V housings,but the internal structures (tubing) were slowing me down. The outsides of these will be fairly easy. The Phantom engine was slowing me down too! These will have to be done soon. I need to finish the wings,which will be very difficult,as these will be multiple parts that will be hollow with various details,and surfaces. Therefore,special care will be needed to make them correctly. I now have the acrylic needed to finish the wings,so once I have the hyperdrive vault finished - there'll be no excuse not to finish them!
