[TC15] Red Baron

[Touc4nx]

Hello everyone,
Here is the Topic that I will use for the [TC15] contest.
I will be making a remake of the LEGO 10024 Red Baron.

 For now I have made a prototype of the bottom wings :

They are almost as wide as the LEGO model.

I have  also made a prototype for the moving part of the wings ( I don't know the exact name of these...)


I will probably do the 6 cylinder engine next.

Since I like classic planes, I'm sure it will be great. For 6 cylinder engine you could make radial engine

Ailerons are on the main wings, Elevators on the Horizontal Stabilizer, and Rudder on the vertical.

Just for a educational lesson .

Thanks, it's always good to learn new things

Hello again,
 

Some updates :
I have made an 6 cylinder radial engine. I tried for a long time without any success so I decided to look online. My version is heavily inspired by this video :

I also started to make the engine cover :




That's all for today.

That looks promising 

Looking forward to se final Fokker D1

hello.

good start! I wonder if, on the lego model, the engine must be covered or not...

Progression of the mechanism :
Yellow is for the rudder.
Blue is for the elevator
Trans-clear is for the structure

Without the structure :

Looking good, I'm glad that you choose sampler aircraft, so controls could be realistically represented

Hello everybody,
After a week off, I continued building the plane : 

• I started to build a bit the edges :
  
• I also linked the elevators to the pilot place, and made a system that replace the elevator to the middle position:
  
• I added the first wings + comparison to the lego model:
   

That's it for today, as soon as I have the time I will make a render for the updated mechanism.

Actually everything looks nice, only tail has stairs , perhaps you can use bionicle tooth part ti make it a bit smoother ?

Hello, it's been really a long time without updates...
But today, I uploaded the instructions on rebrickable. It's just the lfx file, but it's complete.
(Note that you need to place the purple rubber band between the two purples pieces.)
Little render

Have a nice day.
