Very interested to see how this progresses. How tall do you anticipate it to be once finished?

That's some phenomenal speed - I wish I could build that quick, but I'm more of a 'measure five times, cut once, change my plans and do it again' kinda guy.

What thickness of styrene is that? 2-3mm? Looks nice and chunky.

Hi.
No ,not styrene, I use Foamalux (Link Here) for the main build.
Its is very easy to cut and sand and is ridged like styrene but cost 5th of the price. It is 3mm and 5mm that I am using

I will be using styrene for the detail parts only because it just cost so much.

I highly recomend it to everyone.

a little about it

Machining:
Suitable for guillotining, die cutting, sawing, drilling, milling and routing

Forming and Fabrication:
Suitable for folding, drape forming, thermoforming, hot air welding and hot plate welding


Hope that helps people out


All the best Dawgstar

I know that Danilko uses it after I recommended it to him and he found it in Belgrade,Serbia.
I am sure if you do a quick internet search you will find some. Ebay has some in the UK so you if you get stuck look there

hope it helps.

I mean this in the most respectful, complimentary way possible... but looking at scratch-build projects like this makes my brain hurt.
Ouch... ouch... ouch...
