Yes this is a gigantic project.
To the point of being overwhelmed , but work continues .
Just got back from Kinkos/Fed Ex and the directions are done !!
There may be some gray areas in the directions were multiple pieces were made into one .
There are some area details that were not in the kit ( radio bay behind pilot)
I have abandoned the customized rocket pod nose cones and will be going with the original stock design.
I am still waiting for those to come in from the 3D printer.
YES ANOTHER DELAY.
Daremo was overwhelmed with his small part production but this week his parts will hopefully be on line.
His casting process is very involved with the pressure pot and the cooking of the parts that takes about 2 days to make parts.
So he has made 5 sets of each part and has made gang molds of those parts.
So he will be making 5 sets for one pour .
This is great but he has had to make 2 full sets of molds and those 5 sets have taken weeks to make.
I have always been able to go to different places and pick up shipping boxes for free.
But the large size of this project may require that I purchase the shipping boxes.
I have not charged anyone for shipping and handling as of yet.
The soon to be purchased boxes are the handling part.
I have purchased 6 gallons kits ( 12 gallons) of resin and it looks like I will be needing 6 more kits to finish the 41 Hind kits.
That is the reason for going to E-bay for more sales .
There is a possibility I may have to sale 2 more kits there to pay for the resin.
Time will tell if I have to do that .
We are at it and every free hour I get is spent working on this project.
Except yesterday watching the Saints win in a roller coaster of a game against the Lions.
Man what a game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
