Putting pics up on the forum would be great. I'm sure you thought of this, but I would suggest making a new thread just for directions and build discussion.pickelhaube wrote:I am thinking of posting pics for the directions. I am trying to use the Dragon's directions to fit my needs but it is not working out.
So I am thinking of posting pics as directions.
Let us see how that works out and if it does not I will make directions on paper.
Are you guys OK with this ?

Honestly, I would say here. This is in light of the discussion we've had previously about traffic rates in the "Post-Golden Age." It seems this forum is the more visited, and your Horten is THE "Cadillac" project for our hobby right now.pickelhaube wrote:Should I post them here on the 1/18 forum or the customs forum ?
Wonderful!!! Can't wait to get this thing displayed!pickelhaube wrote:Hey Guys,
Pre-production has started.I have made the first pour .
The first pour is usually a throw away. When you do the first pour it is kind of an experiment. Are there enough air vents ? Do I have to make more and such. When making the moulds , one must use plenty of mould release and this gets sucked up by the first pour resin and the piece comes out some what soft.
The second pour normally is a keeper. So far so good and weather permitting production will start tomorrow.
I have learned my lesson. When the temp drops the resin must be brought inside the house as well as the moulds so they keep warm.
Of course Mrs. Spike has something to say about this , but with a non heated shop a mans got to do what a mans got to do. ( that is the famous Popeye quote)
Things are finally moving in the right direction.![]()

Just think after interest was lost all of those German secret weapons were buried in the dirt . ( I think it was in Indiana )
It was just a fluke that a General or other ranking officer liked the Horten so it was saved from the trash pile and shipped out to Maryland were it languished for decades .
