MRC - OT Chatter

[Mike Hungerford]

Nice Easter Island Easter Eg.
I like that!

Thank you. I'd be happy to send you a copy; I haven't decided yet whether to add it to my Web site.

And You did a good job on the 50% MRC.
I see You even included the interior of the pilot section.
Are those sheets pdf-files?

Not yet, but they will be. I'm tweaking fit for the smaller scale and fixing transcription errors as I go (my old Illustrator 10 doesn't like your gradients much!). When it's all done, I'll be sure you get a copy.

I scaled all the parts in your .PDF files, though some won't be needed, such as the inner braces for the cabin walls, and I'll drop those from the final file.

I'm very curious about the finished model.
What paper weight did You use for the prints?

edit: I just read it in the building threat. Paper has 165 g. That's quite thick for some small details.
Does it work well?

I just checked again, and it's actually 163 GSM. The important thing is that it's right at 0.2 mm thick (0.00787 inch) so adjustments are easy.

It works very well for me; I rarely use any other paper for models. The 'Nautilus' build was printed on it as well, and layers of it laminated together to make the 0.5 (three layers = 0.6 mm - close enough!) and 1 mm (five layers) thicknesses the designer called out.
