Dear Ron, As I trudged down the mechanical runway at the gym in Birmingham, I watched this episode. Excellent- just excellent! I can find no other words. Regards, Z
I LOVE my DSPIAE Bender. I had ordered the small version...and liked that so much, I returned the small one and got the larger bender. Very nice...sturdy...solid feel. Comes with an extra base plate, a small razor-edge tool, and a large (5") razor-edge tool. Lots of edges and angles. Sure makes tackling the PE easier for me.
Hi Ron, I am really surprised that Trumpeter made those holes to small. Luckily you were able to remedy the situation without to much trouble. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
Sneaky photoetch! At least you didn't find out about the holes on final assembly when the part is bent and very fragile. Is that a curling stone I see? Is that another of your hidden talents? 😀 Happy modelling, Ken & Emma
Hey Ron Nice call drilling holes bigger. I of course did not and bent a few spider legs. If you continue to phase two and get all the legs thru holes I would reference the book photo instead of trumpeter crap picture. The 6 short legs bend 90 degrees and downstream the 7 long legs bend 90. Just to review yesterdays comment I made. 1. You have to make two full sets of array. One goes aft and one mid ship. 2. I would as a minimum buy one like Paul did already made up. That way if spider legs break you have a replacement and if you order two you’re set. I wish you the best on this insane array build. If you decide to destroy both PE 24 Cs can you crush them with vice and film it on macro.🤗 Mike
That part is making my head hurt lol. Extremely intricate. Thats a nice coffee cup BTW. I was so focused on what you were doing Tara had to point it out lol. Take care. See you tmw.
@@roncalverley just remember the arms length rule. As long as you can make it believable and look good no one will ever notice. Its like woodworking. Only you will know the mistakes.
Ron’ thats a tricky photo etch part and great idea drilling out the holes.interesting to see how it all comes together. As you say the part look different to the instruction diagram. Happy moderlling Ron
That was a challenge! If you need a very sharp 90 degree(or whatever angle)bend, just file a narrow piece of metal to what you want and put it under Andy's top jaw. See ya. Jim
Mr Ron. All the comments about that PE you are starting to work on confirm why I decided to just buy the already 3D printed parts for those radar units. Those Trumpeter drawings are way to wonky for my brain to fathom. And like I said earlier, I actually started on it but soon gave up. I applaud you for trying! You may succeed wher I have failed!
Hi Paul, My plan is to just make it look believable. Just recently found that I actually do have to make 2 of these. I think I'll drill out the holes while to part is still on the fret. 🤞
That's a tricky little part. The only way i can see to make it the same shape as the diagram is to make the first section fold under so the long lengths fold back over it. I think the manual should depict a partial double layer on the underside when viewed from the aspect of the drawing. It's hard to explain what I mean in text.
Hi Ron, I'm sure you are aware that when a car battery goes dead, it live expectancy goes down a lot. Just let your neighbor know he maybe in need of a battery in the future.
Ron, you haven't bent PE24 wrong at all, you just haven't bent it enough....you are half way there you just need to bend the other two fold lines. It's difficult to see on the manual but you should end up with a four sided 'box' and then the prongs....the very first 'section' will be parallel to, (but not lying against), the prongs, the second 'section' attaches to PE23, on those two etch lines, although you seem to have them on the inside of the box. I don't think this matters but thats why those etch lines don't go to the edge of the PE, it just a guide for PE24. So just keep going, you're doing exceptionally well, you just need to bend that part a couple more times....from the end it should look sort of like an upside-down 'e'.
Nice episode Ron. That PE shape is horrible. Tha diagram at 9:32 is poor but looks like it doubles back on itself twice making like a flat side spiral. 😢 best of luck.
Hello Ron. The guidance is just too superficial in this area. You should also read them under the microscope ;). But you don't give up. I'm curious how this will turn out. Keep it up, greetings from Germany.
That P.E. part is wrong, if the diagram is to be believed. You'll have to remove that last segment, so the short one can be folded down to form the box shape. Bill
It may well be worth looking back at the Chap over at Mid West Model build as he is very good with PE. Mind you he is probably 35 years South of you Ron!😃

Hi Ron do believe Martin has it right 🤔🤔🤔🤔 drilling went very well ! 😊😊😊see you tomorrow

That curling stone was in the house when we moved in. Don't know the story behind it.
Your going to nail that etch
👍
This is fascinating to watch the master at work, keep going and do what you no best your get there regards Rod 🎉🎉

Hi Chris,
I can appreciate the intricacy, but am irked by the way that the part and the manual don't seem to match up.

Nice man, see you tomorrow.

Yes, and if memory serves, he just got that one last year too. 🤞

You would be better using the tamiya pliers.
I think that thing bends on itself twice. It's the only way the segments make sense ?

I’m only 8:44 into this video and I have a feeling this may not end well.
Hopefully I’m wrong!
