Baby,its cooold outside!! hope everybodys staying warm. well,my hipper is coming along nicely. It should be ready for spring(summer at latest). I have my guns and pump{thank you,Ray} so I think the only items i still need will be a nice brass regulator with a qwick-dissconnect, and a firing switch. {Im going double front on guns}. Sometime around tax-return time Also,does anybody have plans for Enterprise cv_6? let me know,quote me a price. I cant build a much bigger ship than this. I have a Mustang, and i have to lay the rear seats down,and load through the trunk...and save room for beer. anyway,Merry late Xmas and Happy late New Year!!!
You'd be surprised what you can fit in the back of a Mustang. I was able to haul the Courageous around in mine and she's nearly 800 ft long (IRL)
Larry I spoke with Eric, and he has plans for the Enterprise. I will try to bring them if we have a build session. Mikey
My tax return is on its way. YAY! first, im ready for the Enterprise plans. contact me at 502-962-6457.{larry}. if you get the answering machine,leave a message.i usually wont answer if i dont recognize the number. also, can i get the regulator i need at a paintball store? or is it a special item? oh,sorry about the pm thing,mikey...i didnt know. update on the Eugan..the superstructure is done{its got all the detail its gonna get}...just about ready to sheet the hull. I need to figure a way to secure the guns,but me and ray can brainstorm that one. last..an idea..i have some scrap linolium flooring from when i had the floor redone. could this be used as BB armor? its pretty thick. P.S....we only got 6 inches of snow....lol
You can use a paintball regulator for your air system. Three of my ships use paintball regulators (Palmer Stabilizers). Some good stuff for internal armor is shower/bathtub liner from Lowes or Home Depot. It is more than thick enough to withstand BBs and easy to cut with a strong pair of scissors.
I'm a fan of the classic 2 liter pop bottle armor. Very light and more then capable of stopping BBs. Plus, it's cheap!
well,My transport problems are solved. My dad gave me his dodge dakota. shopping around for a used topper.
Aye, transparent plastic is good at that. The real trick is to use proper Lexan blast shields, and find a neat way of mounting them. No point showing off your nice wooden hull if you're going to get sloppy with the rest of it.
Larry We have a build session scheduled in Ravenna, Ohio on the weekend of March 13-14. Can you see if someone down in Louisville can host one sometime late in March? If nobody in Louisville can host one, then we could try to put one together near Cinci. I spoke with Eric, and he does indeed have a set of plans for the Enterprise. I will try to bring them down so that you can have a look at them. Mikey
