I have started another project. 

A big droptank.
Cabin from a Heinkel 115 .

And some sketchings.

Oh so 50's... interested how it evolves

[kerick]

This could go in many directions. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this one.

5o's seems a nice aspect, i want to build a Jetsons style engine Design 

but at all i like it more apocalyptic in a stranger future dystopic style.

I will try to make the ropes from metall guitar strings to keep the ship flying and get some Harbour style bollards from a friend.

Now i am searching for styrene tube  in 35-45 mm for the anti gravity engines in the wings, can't find anything. Seems that i have to slaughter some engines, cowlings or similar .

Look in your local DIY warehouse at waste water pipe and fittings.  You might find something there you can use.
Just beware that it can be tricky to glue.

There are other sources.  The central ring on this is a slice sawn from a flocking container (thick, clear styrene).

Those water tubes from PVC and similar stuff are not suitable for my Workflow , thx , after a lot of experiments i will use styrene material only .
Will have a look at that problem next week

Really interesting project   

[PR19_Kit]

Yes, that surely IS a big droptank! 

[killnoizer]

That thing is 8 inches long, 20 cm in Europe. 
Could be from a 1:35 Phantom F4 i think.

Sometimes you can get lucky and find different bottle caps and stuff made of styrene. I wish medicine bottles were styrene as I would have an unlimited supply!

... same here, my wife got a supply shop for scientific laboratory Research Material , but all made of bomb proof plastic!

It wouldn't look out of place in "Raumpatrouille Orion"

[killnoizer]

Wait for the PAINT JOB and it would not fit into Orion ... which was a black and white show 

Did some work today,  traveled to Bielefeld over the weekend, there is always a place for my mobile toolbox in the Defender.

The cabin aperture is in shape, and the four holes for the towing cables are drilled...
