Petite crabe needs head (heh heh)
Petite crabe needs body / weapon hole analysis


You dirty Otter you... :p :D ;)

Don't worry about the delay. Good things are worth waiting for. I certainly can't wait to get the crabs (dammit, now you have me started too...)

And the tankette must be very good, because there's an additional delay. Not only is Todd Boyce really busy with his real-work (some sort of Hollywood SFX), but the printer has developed another freak-out and needs some replacement parts.

Plus he's agreed to do some work with Steve Cole (Starfleet Battles, ADB). I strongly dislike that guy (Cole, not Todd).

I would like to take this opportunity to point out to Reaver that you don't have these problems with classic greenstuff sculpting.

Other progress:
First half of Hadrian mold poured.
First half of small dropship turrets mold poured.
Arrangements made for missing dropship double barrel turret (loaner).
Trying to get dropship bridge section to cast, airflow issues.
Second pour of mold containing forward sropship landing gear and single barrel turret.

Gentlemen, I bring you intruiging news.

Last night I jammed some greenstuff into an old Bison mold. I then assembled the mold and encased it in 6.022 * 10^23 rubber bands.
This morning I had a greenstuff Bison!

Problems:
The barrel doesn't have much structural strength. Solution: metal rod should have been placed in mold and greenstuff formed around it.
The greenstuff was super sticky and pulled pieces of the mold off. Solutions: use fresher mold (that mold was just about dead anyway). Use Ease-Release.

Implications:
When I visit and show them the robot bug and tankette, I'll show them a greenstuff thingy and ask if it is viable for vulcanization.
If so, then I could conceivably use PrintAPart to cheaply and quickly create prototypes, mold them in my traditional way, then greenstuff the mold.
This would result in metal-production-ready prototypes. Wheee!

And here we see the greenstuff experiment. Note the little bits of silicon stuck here and there, and the nasty layers.

PrintAPart has better resolution.

The Forge World Stormsword has a volume of 18cc. Since the Warbarque and an imperial superheavy are both DC3, this should be the target size.

The Warbarque has proportions of approximately 1:1:2.5. Solving for the cube root, that means the final dimensions will be slightly under 2cm x 2cm x 5cm. 20cc will cost approximately $500 for a bronze investment cast.

If I panelize the design, and assume that the panels are about 4mm thick, this will create an internal hollow 1.2cm x 1.2cm x 4.2cm = 6cc, reducing the cost to $400.

3mm walls give a hollow of 1.4cm x 1.4cm x 4.4cm = 8.6cm, reducing the cost to $320.

Update: with the discovery that PrintAPart can supply the necessary resolution at $10 per cc, this project becomes feasible again. As if I needed more projects.

What are you guys waiting for? Learn MoI or Rhino or something.

Can't run any on this crappy old hunk of junk, or I'd be on it like white on rice. :sad:  I'd have to go analogue.

(And I have no idea of what most those things should look like, or similar to...)
