Hello,

I am Eric, a french amator modeler .

Weldone for your 18" mystic ! very good job like an engeneer ... I an agree with you : the mystic cat is beautiful. I am trying to built it in 1/12th scale : the master is finished : the mould of the cockpit too but it is not easy (lol) :we are going to try the vaccum modelling !

Cheers

second pull

Ok, tried it again tonight. What do you do on Friday nights?

This time I tried to warm the mold and I used .060 HIPS plastic.

Below is what I got. It is much stronger, this is what would be needed for a twin. The .040 is light, but will need to be filled with foam for a single. Kind of similar once done to a wood or glass over foam build. But do the skin first, box a cavity for the internals, and fill the rest with foam.

That looks great!

Now that is sweet mystic. I would really like to have that running alongside with the bigger one that I am working on. If you will sell and ship to Europe I could buy one or two. Payment in advance.

Any progress?

[screwball]

yea i too would like to know if their are any updates

[befu]

progress?

Well, progress means forward, right?

In a quest to get finer detail out of the bottom female vacuum mold, I ended up cracking it!

So, I have stopped on the vacuum forming the lower part for now. I attached the broken pieces to a piece of MDF and I am fixing it up. I will have to fill the vacuum holes and then look into laying the bottom up from glass and make a new male plug for vacuum forming over that.

I did get 5 or 6 bottoms out of the mold before it boke, some are pretty good, non as good as what I wanted.

So for now this is on hold as I am trying to finish up the crackerboxes with the cubscouts. Give me a week and check back then

[screwball]

any chance in selling one of those 5 or 6 hulls that you made before the mold broke??

i would buy one for a twin that im dying to build...

Your the only one with one of these hulls......

The other two bailed on them and I am nervous about putting anymore out there. Want to get some feedback on if you think it is not worth it.
