Thanks Steve for those excellent drawings. I could not ask for more ? Joe , Im honored that you would follow my example involving construction methods, ( actually it was Phil Palmer who showed me how paper mache can be a build material ) but the main reasons I use paper mache is its a handy way of keeping younger students occupied, (I have mostly 11 year olds) and also its very cheep. When I have more school money I`ll switch to fiber glass + resin. when Ive proved to the school I can get these kids making reliable machines they will dig deeper in the funding purse. If I was to use paper mache on the Fox turret I would need a rigid type of material to form the ovoid part where the two halves meet . maybe an inch wide piece of plywood, shaped to follow the arc, "is it called a chord ?", I know its circular and not ovoid but I still think a frying pan hacked at the ends is a simple enough idea, (better than a chip pan anyway). Personally I would not feel confident in a US battle with a paper mache turret, I think American battles are more fierce than UK battles. There is only me that currently owns anything that I would consider "dangerous" in the UK . The fearful Mr Tang will blast a paper turret to destruction in the first 5 minutes of play.
Id like to see your progress when you make it. In my opinion every body should make their progress public, its a great motivator to others.
