Hi all done a bit more.




As you can see there's no real detail to the jet engine, I know it's meant to be an educational toys to teach kids how a jet engine works and to be see through but I fail to see how this teaches anything, no injectors no pipe work for fuel just some blades which spin and some lights, I think Airfix missed a trick here. And for very little work on their part. 
I know nothing about jet engines but I know they need injectors to get the fuel where needed and fuel obviously but here is no indication of either here.

Hi all some more progress on this.














I've concocted a couple of laser cannons for it, I think they look quite convincing, what do you think.

[Guest]

you weren't a mad professor in a previous life were you ken lol , how many model's have you got on the go my friend .

[Guest]

3 ships mate and 3 stalled cars and 2 motorcycles (I like to keep busy my biggest number on the go at once was 10, I wanted to start 2 more but my missus put her foot down) anyway here is tonight's bit 

[Guest]

Hi all here is the next installment














I must say I'm enjoying this very much, freedom from anyone saying "that's wrong" is so liberating and I'm loving the fact I can use my imagination to find stuff for making 60s style futuristic stuff ( I thought at the start of this build that the corvette lent itself to that era, modern stuff would be either squarer or more streamlined)

Hi all, I've started detailing the jet engine.

[Guest]

Hi all, did some more detailing on the jet engine (yes I know all you jet engine enthusiasts out there it looks like no jet engine you ever saw) it's not real and doesn't exist in real life, I love this imaginary stuff, I can do anything.

[grumpa]

Amazing imagination you have there Ken!.... love to see one not conforming to the norms of just kit building............. Good Show!...........Jim

Just caught up on this one Ken, some very INTERESTING work going on. Like you say your free to do anything you like to it, I like this wacky idea very much. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Hi all well I've finished detailing the jet engine, I was going to make an inspection panel in the casing so you could see the detailing but since it is curved in all directions I couldn't work out how to hinge it so you won't actually see any of it but, hey I know it's there.

[Guest]

Hi all well thanks to a suggestion I'm going to do lift out panels instead of hinged so here's what I have so far.

[Guest]

comming along nicely
