Rudi, your camera work is cool. I wonder how you find the time to do all of that while building. I find it hard enough to think: "Oh yeah, I better grab the camera to get a picture of that". It appears you plan out your pictures so it looks like the items just build themselves.

Hi Steve,

I had the same questions here http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ad.php?t=27427

You can download the panel CAD drawing from Van's then you will have to learn how a CAD program works and draw your own panel. My Laser cutter did not want to use an existing cut panel, they wanted to cut everything from scratch, something about alignment to existing shape. It was a learning experience, and I had a test piece cut first in cheap alu before my final cut in 2024 Alclad.

I plan a bit ahead of what I am going to shoot, then I make sure the manufacturing is done ready for assembly, before I put the camera on a tripod, then assembly in 30minutes, taking shots. The video editing I then do during lunch time at work.

Regards
Rudi

Sorry nothing more than in the videos, I just did a search here and used what the guys here suggested. No Bolts, but I did have 4 holes with cleckos to ensure it stays in place while drying, then filled those holes afterwards.
