FB Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Nice work Tris, any pics of the join of the curve plastic sheet to main structure? i assume you made a 'D' shape then braced in between \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Cheers lads, as always it is spurring me on to a bit more each time. The trusses you mean Ben/ It's just styrene strips, easy to bend by hand to persuade them to curve. . glued on to channel uprights. A bit of extra stregnth comes from bit of angle glued into the join to add more surface area for the glue to bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Great job there Tris, lovely structure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Before I go any further I will concrete the base and use a certain trick by Smallclaas on the cladding before painting her up in black. The the back and roof cladding will be added last. Added a bit of etc styrene along the bottom of each end to glue the cladding too. Did the same along the back as well just now, after I took these pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS135A DRIVER Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 That's something else. All the bending and curving of the beams and the bracing that supports the structure, you've put a load of time and effort into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Cheers matey. Very much appreciated Bit of a mishap though and the cladding is now in the bin :'( Fear not, it hasn't caused me too much of a palava though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
