13-5 To make the bottom cover (continue)
To make resin of cover part is easy, but need to consider of the part is thin/wide easy to get bubbles. So to avoid it, needs to mix color it slowly.
Mix color the same as the moon color pore, and close mold. Wait for 8 hrs.
After 8 hrs, open the mold anc check the bubbles. if not, go ahead
(if there is some, do it again or fix it by plugging little resin)
This support is made by washer (thickness 1 mm)
This is the result that CD being reinforcement. So part will have a same thickness
on whole area.
time to close the cover... excited... ^^
After close it, we need to check some points on below
try to fit the battery socket first, the align edge later.
1st check: how slide does... well no problem. ^^
2nd check: alignment of left side.
3rd check: alignment of middle part.
4th check: alignment of the right side.
5th check: if only all supports are touched ground? This still no problem
Then we're locking the cover to the moon tightly by screw. I selected 1.2x8.0 mm.
Due to the size of screw match to length and the hole of washers.
check head of screw is fit well to hole of washer.
Lenght is also suitable.
Drill the 4 points in center of washer till reaches the moon edge.
This part will be drilled through.
finally, taper the hole with bigger drill bit. This is to bury screw head.
finished all 4 holes.
Drill it as dept around 9-10 mm.
Now we're finished to lock the cover to the moon.
Flip it up, the flag shaft (that I always keep it for photo taking purpose)
will not be used anymore. So cut it as optimum length.
can't be cut by pliers it's too hard.
Ok now finished the cover part. It remains only the USA. flag that I'll do it last part.
Due to I'm pending Optimus Prime head for while. It should be the time for it.
Next part (part14-1), we are goging to work on Optimus prime's chin.
how does it look??? Let see 3 days later due to I'll take rest then be back soon.
Hope you guys still enjoy it.
Thanks for watching
Bye... for now... :)
