"MacGyver mode"
Where can I get it? Well, here in this thread, and many more in this forum!
The poor man's lathe has been used by me already.
Keep on

Many thanks for your nice comments, Nigel, Ben, Rick and Joachim! I am glad you find my MacGyver mode inspirative.

With the drawings almost finished, I started working on the fuselage. Whereas the front section will be vacuum formed, the rear section will be solid.

The shape looks ok so far, so in the next step I will fill the gaps in the moulds for the front part with milliput and in the rear part with styrene pieces.





Cheers

More impressive engineering. It's fascinating to see how you do all this.

What a truly amazing process.

I am blown away by that mini-lathe. I used an old power drill recently to turn some dowels into gun barrels, but your set up is altogether much more sophisticated!

Excellent start on the fuselage. Have you thought of using wood to make the male part of your mould?
