Hi Dents.
No new photos I am afraid as the pack is covered in rubber
.
I have started to make the mold. It has taken some time but I am getting there
I have two greeblies to confirm, one is on order and one I am sure will need to be specially made :facepalm. I am confident the one I am waiting to come in (the switch on the underside) will work as the switch to operate the beacon light, which will be nice 8). I will confirm this in the next day or two. Still waiting for some prices and lead times for the ali beacon and some other finishing touches and I should be good to run an 'interest list' if I can get enough involved I can keep the cost down. I am going to PM the people I know (or can remember) have shown an interest and will then get an official thread posted up - probably Tuesday next week. Feel free to register a pre-interest with me I love pre's:confused
Thanks to all for your help with different parts of this project
Bobby. :cheers

Thanks for the PM Rob, did you solve the dilemma of the solid resin missile? oooh that sounds like a Miss Marple story waiting to be written

May I ask what you came up with? I was thinking hyperfirm or similar?

I am testing a foam filled one....but a rubber one is still a possibility.

I believe it's the 15" version. I could have it scaled up and have more cut though.

Thanks Andy. I am casting at the moment so in one sense it is late, however I am adding the exhaust after as either a resin piece or an more likely an aluminum one.
But big thanks for the offer buddy.

Think you might want to use one of my sintra laser cut ones as the master for your resin copies? Or did you make one all ready?
Edit:
Wait, I'm stupid. If you're getting them made in aluminum, you can use those as a master.
