- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
If "THE MAN" actually knew how to do any kind of crafting, I would agree.......well....you know......the man might be after our crafting secrets......
the Man has no need for such skills when there are so many who have them already lol - thats why some people want to be in charge lmao - the benefit ofc is that those who do have the skills are invaluableIf "THE MAN" actually knew how to do any kind of crafting, I would agree.
It is time for another detailed thunder Fighter build. This time I am building the QUAD Thunder Fighter.
Here are the parts for the engine section (and supports for the lower wings.
I am layering certain panels to add a depth of detail.
I attached the supports for the lower wings.
I attached the skins for the engine section to both body halves.
These are additional supports for the top rear part of the fuselage.
The supports are assembled.
The supports are attached in place.
Here are the supports and skins for the bottom rear part of the fuselage.
The supports and skins for the bottom rear part of the fuselage are attached in place.
Both body halves are attached.

Looking great, albeit it has a slight "sunburn touch". Ok, well done!
This is a small update. Moving on to the fuselage parts.
I have attached the cockpit interior to the upper skin.
*NOTE* At this scale, be careful. The sides (where the cockpit tub attach) are thin and can easily tear.
Here is the second layer of the section.
The second layer of the section is attached.
Here are the parts for the middle section of the sponsons.
*NOTE* As you can see, parts 179, 180 183, and 184 are missing. I created parts for this section that replaces those parts. These are exhaust vents for the pulsar laser cannons.
The other (small) sheet of parts are intakes for the engines.
The exhaust vents are attached.
The engine intakes and rear sponson sections are attached.
The lower skin is attached.
The upper skin is attached to the main body of the plane.
The main console is now in place.

Will your new all PDFs version be available to download some where?(Granted, the fitting issue was a BIG surprise because the files were not changed after release and we tested everything ad nauseum. I strongly believe it was a case of human error during printing because the regular parts come as PNG and the interior parts as PDF. We have now turned all pages into PDFs using Gimp to make sure that everything is printed at the proper size. At least this is what we hope for!)
No. Martin does not want his files to be shared elsewhere and we respect that. You may get the original files from his website www.paperaviation.de . You can produce a PDF yourself by loading the pages in Gimp and export them as PDF. Make sure that the correct resolution is set (202.997 dpi); this should be done automatically by Gimp when the pages are loaded but sometimes the program goofs up, so it is not too bad to check the settings before getting surprises.
Much respect to Mr Sanger for his designs, I've still gotta get around to making another one of these.No. Martin does not want his files to be shared elsewhere and we respect that.

I have to say that they are a fun (and sometimes addicting) build!
Here is an update of the aft end.
As you can see, I have raised a few of the panels by printing the template on printer paper and applying them accordingly.
