Makete: STEAMPUNK CORONA FIGHTER Mk.19

Delavnica 2.del - Workshop part 2

Kot vedno sem se najprej lotil detajliranja v sprednjem kolesnem prostoru- pravzaprav bi moral reči prostor za shranjevanje sprednje pristajalne noge. Vse stare dele sem odstranil:

As always, I started with the detailing of the front undercarriage bay or, more accurately, the bay for storing the front undercarriage leg. I removed all of the old parts:

Stene in dno sem naredil na novo:

I redid the walls and the bottom:

Sledila je izdelava notranje opreme v stilu steampunka kolikor je to mogoče. Čeprav bi si vso opremo lahko izmislil, ker je to "what if" maketa, mi je bilo lažje, da sem se zgledoval po resničnem letalu. Iz bakrene folije sem naredil ojačitvene "U" profile in podložke, stene pa sem prekril z gravirano aluminijasto folijo od nekih zdravil:

Then I tried to recreate the Steampunk internal design. This being a “what if” model, I could have come up with my own design, but I found it easier to draw from the actual aircraft. I used copper foil to make the reinforced “U” profiles and plates, and covered the walls with engraved aluminium foil from some pill packaging that I had set aside.

Za notranjo opremo sem uporabil 5 jedkanih delov od Eduarda, 2 plastična dela, ki sta mi ostala od druge makete, vse drugo pa sem naredil iz stirena, injekcijskih igel, Albion cevi ter bakrene in svinčene žice.

For the internal design, I used 5 Eduard etched parts and 2 plastic parts that I had left from another model, and made all the rest from styrene, injection needles, Albion tubes and copper and lead wire.

Naredil sem tudi vse hidravlične cilindre:

I also made all the hydraulic cylinders:

Kot že rečeno, bo to letalo za navpično vzlet in pristanek in torej ne potrebuje koles. Zaradi X-Wing-ov morajo biti pristajalne noge višje in teleskopske. Razen luči je stara sprednja pristajalna noga od F-14 neuporabna, zato sem vse moral narediti v samogradnji. Uporabil sem tudi 2 Eduardova jedkana dela za F-14.

As already mentioned, this aircraft will have vertical take-off and landing, and therefore doesn’t need any wheels. Because of the X-Wings, the undercarriage legs must be higher and telescopic. Except for the light, the old front undercarriage leg from the F-14 was useless, so I had to build everything from scratch. I also used 2 Eduard F-14 etched parts.

Takole izgleda skoraj gotova sprednja pristajalna noga:

This is how the nearly finished front undercarriage leg looks like now:

Za izdelavo loput za zapiranje kolesnega prostora sem uporabil Eduardove jedkane dele, notranjo stran loput pa sem naredil iz stirena.

To make the hatches closing the undercarriage bay, I used Eduard etched parts, and the inside of the hatches is made from styrene.

Sledila je izdelava kabine. Ker sem nabavil Eduardove jedkane dele za kabino sem jih skoraj vse tudi uporabil. Kolikor se je dalo sem se potrudil, da bi kabina bila v stilu steampunka. Najprej sem pobrusil in počistil obstoječi kabinski prostor.

Then I started working on the cockpit. As I had bought Eduard cockpit etched parts, I used most of them. I tried to recreate the Steampunk cockpit as much as possible. First I polished and cleaned the existing cockpit.

Zaradi brušenja nekatere površine niso bile več ravne zato sem naredil nove iz stirena 0,3 mm. Vse skupaj sem prekril z bakreno folijo, ki sem jo kasneje prelakiral z modrim prozornim lakom.

As certain surfaces were uneven because of the polishing, I made new ones using a 0.3 mm styrene. I covered the entire surface with copper foil, which I then coated with a transparent blue varnish.
