I started super gluing all the separate components together this afternoon. It's looking REALLY good, and because it's paper...it's REALLY light. I dont imagine these being very heavy after a face layer of resin, and then a few with fiberglass and rondo on the inside. I havent been doing this very long today, and it's damn near almost done.
This is good. Im really excited about this.
Where Im at now, I have one pack almost finished being glued, Im going to TRY to take pictures of assembling the other pack, even though it's tape everything on the back, glue every part where it meets on the face and where they sit on each other. You COULD probably get started doing this, if you're at that point with your build and are good to go with out any guidance from me. I'm even starting to notice some places that will need to be filled with bondo after the resin is finished, this is also a really good thing for you to make notes for your packs.
Also, since Im going to have game ribs on my packs, I had to go the extra mile making them out of paper...but I could do a slight walk through how to make the ribs for your packs, after I do the resin update. Start investing in that 1/8" styrene Ive been talking about so much, or some 1/8" X 1/2" X 24" balsa (at least for the ribs.) I also will have to show you how to make your own motherboards, BECAUSE unfortunately there's no way to make a uniform motherboard for this project. Not to worry, it's SO damn easy.
Anyhow Im f****g stoked about this project. I was getting a little run down with it and overwhelmed because of all the game scratch building I have to do, but holy smokes, this is just the kick in the pants I needed. I hope you all at the same point I am, get that feeling too. We're totally in the home stretch now, and it feels good.
