Disruptor XL WIP #99
So I accidentally forgot to post these shots of the main engine build from last week, and posted the finished pictures first. (This order mistake will be addressed in the album).
I've been working on the main engines on and off for the last week. and had to make a few changes. First was made to accommodate the wiring. I added a 1x1 brick axil hole for the wires to go into the ship.Then I noticed that the wires from the engines couldn't quite reach the board plugs once the wall was made. To fix that I swapped the 4 port board for a 10 port board which was wider. It's overkill but it works. That mod was made top and bottom.
The next modification made to the ship was an internal structural issue fix for each of the main engines. Before they were only connected via one 2x2 snot brick, and loosely connected on the outside which left them very loose. I then noticed on digital that the engine parts adjacent to the external connection also aligned so the internal parts were swapped from 2x10 plates to 2x12 plates and then covered, which greatly improved the engines sturdiness.
Finally on the outboard engines (not shown here as I forgot to take a picture of it) was another internal fix my brother came up with to get around a problem of parts not fitting around the central pillar that sits in-between the two engines on each side. The digital fix I had recorded didn't work, so he invented a new one for me. Fortunately I had bought enough extra parts to make this work.
Following this was the lighting test previously posted (WIP #100) followed by a quality check, which revealed missing parts which were overlooked and have since been ordered.
