OWCOW!

Now that the Viper is happily protected in it's new hangar, it's time to clean up, realign the modules, get the wheel carts out from under it and give it all a good once over.

There's quite a bit of warping from being left in the weather. The tarpaulins only did so much and it's very good they were there. Most of it is fine, but pretty dirty. Cobwebs, dirt, dust and wasp nests inside the cockpit. The plywood cladding on the legs is totally destroyed by the weather, peeling and rotting. Easily fixed and I was going to change them for steel cladding anyway. If anything, the rotting wood is easier to remove now.

It was tricky levering the weight of the viper up high enough to remove the trolleys, but I got it down nice and gentle.

The electrics seem mostly intact and after a quick start-up, all works well except for a couple of twitchy lights which are easy enough to rectify.

I've given the cockpit a thorough brush, vacuum and wash down and it's looking good. Time to start building!

I was just looking at the control panel myself thinking if I had any instrumentation or gauges that might match the architectural genre . Lol

Do you need an aviation compass ?

I dont have one atm but I do come across them every now and then.

It looks like you have 4-5 other aeronautical panel mount instruments.

Thanks mate, but I got them all. I was helped by aviators all across the world, to identify and procure the instruments used in the show.

Thank you for the offer mate. Very kind.

Just finished building a much larger forge. High time too!

It is now plenty long enough for the Baz Crack Scratchers! Wide enough now that I'm not limited to just knives. I can now put bigger things in there, like axe heads and other bulky steel to be forged. Dual burners with adjustable fuel/air mix for a fully controllable temperature and atmospheric environment.

The ends get closed off as needed with fire bricks. In my experience it is the most simple and allows for maximum flexibility. I can pass long objects through if needed, or work from both ends if there are two people using it at once. I will also lay some fire tiles in the bottom to give me a flat surface to put things on and protect the lining from rough objects and borax, which eats everything.

I've got some ideas for blinging it up for fun later, but for now, it is practical and useful.

New video I just finished now.

And another on the three foot Viper that I finished editing yesterday.

Huey, Dewey or Louie ?

The gizmo/apparatus in post #115 of the isolation projects thread would qualify as different ..... how about starting off with a description of that.
I refer to pics 10 & 11

Cheers guys and thanks. I'll post up as work progresses on projects. I will be continuing on with the Viper very soon, so that will likely dominate for a while, with the occasional small project to break it up a bit.

That isolation project you refer to, is a scratchbuilt, freestyle mech that I threw together out fo workshop scraps and offcuts. It just sort of evolves as I found bits of metal, wood and plastic that looked like they might be cool. A bit of paint brought it all together and I'm working on a diorama to go with it to give it scale. I would like to think that two people could sit side by side in the turret to pilot it. (for scale).

What? :|

 

[Suncoaster]

The drones from the movie Silent Running had feet like those and were called Huey Dewey and Louie.
