More turkey feathers and one more sensor array |
Mixture ratio was not correct so the resin was even more brittle then normal. So when I tried to pull the part out of the mould the extensions broke off |
Close up showing the broken parts. I need to be more careful trying to remove the second part |
Er failure as the second part also broke off the extensions no matter how careful I was. |
Not wanting to waste things I try and extricate the broken parts and glue them back on. |
After a bit of work the extensions are glued back on. |
More castings |
Taking apart the mould for the shuttle body |
Close up |
Anxious to try the mould so I quickly start pouring. I pour part of the left and right moulds trying to remove as many bubbles as possible before the resin sets up. |
While that first pour cures on the body the shuttle head is removed from the mould |
And I try that pour too |
First removed parts |
Ouch major failure of the pour to get the bubbles. A lot of the wings end tips are missing |
