Fett's Ship.......... Slave 1 - dsp5500 - 05-03-2015
Pretty intensive last month & half getting this finalised. Reworked all the models including the skirt prototype I made.
Mostly due to finally sorting out a reliable simulation of thermoforming. These models take into account the distortion caused during the thermoforming process.
So we will see how they turn out soon. Im thinking mighty close warts n' all.

Had a power outage all afternoon so couldn't get much done, But well pleased with the dry fit, Still have to skim the bottom of each level but it looks spot on. Cant wait to get the first test pulls and get it all together.

I might be heading up your way for some fishing later on in the year.
Only the Wing Wells and the Front guard left to do and the Slave Plugs are done.

Like I said on the RPF, doing this digitally is the best way to go!

I'm just excited to see this tool set in action for projects like this.

Nice to see large tools being put to good use. That's going to be a rock solid blank.

Don't know what happened to the pics in this post? Jason ?
Doesn't matter
Been getting bugged to finish this for a while ( Guess you want a Slave 1 ) and caught up with some spare time in-between projects so here it is. Plugs re modelled with much better compensation for thermal stretch, re sealed and ready for vacuum forming. Sheets are ordered and will see first pulls this week :thumbs

Nice work!
I may be speaking with Jase a bit later today and will mention the site has a few issues with a lot of pictures disappearing in different threads. Hopefully he can get things straightened out again with all the glitches of late.
Good luck with them pulls later in the week. :-)
