    I have been patiently waiting for a part 2 to see what else they do to their ships. I really want to modify mine and have been using this and others as a reference of what to do and what not to do.

    I agree with the other viewers "Viewer discretion advised". I can't believe how excited and anxious this video made me feel. These Razor Crests will be fantastic when finished. There was some one on the Facebook Group "We backed the Razor Crest" who catalogued where all the body screws where. The thread started off showing where missing body panels covering the screws were. I think it would be helpful to you when you come to take the hull of the Razor Crest apart. I "think" there are 19 or 20 screws in the body. Each location seems to be numbered.

    Those lights are dope, can't wait to see the completed project. When was watching you install the nacelle lights I had an idea for the exhaust that if you started with the outside ring lights coming on then used a timer to bring on the middle light, ramping up to full brightness over ten seconds or so, it would have the effect of looking like the engine was warming up. You could even add a sound effect.

  • @normanbeaulieu4204
    @normanbeaulieu4204 2 роки тому

    I hope Adam sees this. I hope I can help with some of your problems on this. Since you want to keep the engine nacelles modular and that brings up how to transfer power back and forth. I might be able to give you a suggestion. 1) use magnets. I have used magnets to transfer power while keeping things modular. You can use the two “ connection pegs” for the engine to attach to the body. Use one peg as the positive and the 2nd as negative. Place the magnet at the tip of the peg and at the base of the peg hole. The circuit bill disconnect, whenever you pull the engines and we’ll connect whenever the engines are put back on the body. This also will allow you to give each engine, its own power supply, freeing up the body of the ship for other things. You can also use the same technique with the top of the ship that attaches you can put all the LEDs you want in there connect them to magnets and you’re all set. Then add those accompanied magnets to the body of the ship so when you attach the top, the circuit is complete and you can actually use the engine power supply to run it independently. Also, using two different power supplies you answer that problem with different voltages of LEDs.

    Idea: you could cover and paint the step downs to look like a cargo box and just place it in the hull.

    Ha! Adam and I have the same drill/impact set. The little 12v Makita pistol grips. I adore those guys for tech/light work! A guy took off with my drill, which happened to have my best battery on it, and never came back. Dude! Took my drill, had use of it for half a battery pack, and then what? Threw it away, as someone who'd steal your drill, isn't going to drop a hundred bucks on another battery/charger, or 40 bucks on a charger right? God I dislike a thief!

    Great to see our crazy scientist and his assistant together on a project again.

    Empathy. Kindness. Respect. Adam’s Razor Crest received none of these. As he and Norm disassembled their respective ships, I was reminded of the scene in the film “Step Brothers”, when the main characters became best friends.
