I'm sorry that it has been so long since I last posted.
I've been working on a R5D4 dome. I know. This is supposed to be a R2D2 but I decided to change it a few weeks ago. so here it goes!
This first part is making the bottom ring. The sides will be 3mm thick. 3 seperate rings of 1mm styrene.
Lay out all the angles on the other side. These will bring the O.D. down to the neck size.
Now putting on the neck uprights on the double thickness neck ring. (6mm, 2 3mm pieces)
Now finish up neck ring with 2 more 3mm pieces. Lined up by bolts through both sets of rings.
Now glue on the bottom ring assy. Aligning tool was made to make sure everything is.......aligned!
Her I put on 2 layers of 1mm skin on lower angle. Also glued in top dome frame and top plate, the front eye plate also installed.
All plans are courtesy of Dave Everett. Thanks Dave!!
Well, that's not all I have done but need to get pics uploaded first, will be back.
