I've been reading a lot about the saucer called the sport model and the propulsion system that John & Bob described. Thought I'd give it a go and see if I could model a full size version. This is the first pass and definitely not finished. Tell me what ya think!

Hi Sgt. 

Just looked at the video on another device.

I like it.   

It reminds me of tech drawing and design. 

What software is it you use ?

Sgt.Rocknroll

Thanks!

I use Autocad 2011. This was just a start. I plan on detailing the whole thing.

Look forward to seeing your progress.

I thought Autocad would have taken a bit of training to learn...and may be expensive..

Are you a Draughtsman or Engineering designer ? or self taught ?

or is it relatively easy to use.

I recall on one forum someone manufacturing small models of the sports model in some form of metal...either Aluminium or stainless steel !


Sgt.Rocknroll

I've been a Cad designer for over 30 years. Trained as a piping designer, first job was Cad self taught. I think it's pretty easy to learn. Autocad retail is around $4000.00

That's interesting if you have been in that for 30 yrs....

Now you may become a Saucer designer ....It something that many would like to be !

:-\
I wasn't sure if you were a Sgt in the Army ( Maybe as an Engineer ) or a Rock and Roll star or all three !    :)

Yea Sgt nice work so far. I love your moon drawings you do also. Its amazing what can be done with a computer CAD program. Its one thing to look at one of NASAs blurred images of the moon but when you spply your technique to the moon and show details its awesome!!

OUTSTANDING SGT. !! ;)

"Lurker!!" My foot...LOL :P
You have seemingly had a bite of the UFO designer Bug Sgt. and it is a wonderful rendition. Love the lines, concept and over all work of the video buddy!

You need no explanation of how I view your work, but this brings you into a whole new realm of research my friend. Z's going to be at your door wanting to take a ride, as soon as PWM, LE and few others here get it built!! LOL

Can't wait too see what the Ole noggin kicks out in the near future, it only gets easier from here!! ;)

Well I am/was all of the above. ::) A Sgt. in the Army (Intel) a wanna be engineer ::) And a RocknRoll star (in my own mind) ;)

Absolutely! understand Sgt. I had forgot to ask "Is the propulsion design you had put with in your  rendering based on the Onion Propulsion Drive System?" Z has a thread dedicated to it, was very interesting concept.
(this crossed my mind after posting earlier this AM.)

First of all I haven't put in anything yet only the outer shell. I'm working on the internals right now. I'm basing my model off the rendering I found online. see below. I don't know if this is the right one to use but it's the only one I could find with dimensions.



I'm really ignorant of all the all the aspects of PRC. Remember I'm relatively new to the game. ;D

Sgt.Rocknroll

As i stated before about being ignorant of all things PRC, I really really didn't think that I was the only one to try and model the S4 Sport Model. ::)

I did some digging and found Bob Lazar's page on the living moon site:
http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/12insiders/Bob_Lazar_001.html

Went further and found his official mirror site:
http://users.skynet.be/bob.lazar/www.boblazar.com/

where I found this:


(this is a 3ds file (I assume) model of the craft from Bob's site. It was in the form of DXF which is a neutral file format that can be transferred to numerous Cad software types.)(interestingly it was in a text file format, so I just resaved it from notepad as a DXF and viola')

I then compaired it to mine:




Somewhat different. Mine is based off the diagram I found with dimensions. I don't know who or where the one from Bob's site came from. I'm curious to find if that's Bob's 'official' rendering that he approves of or what? I'd really like to pick his brain a little about this.

I'm at a quandary, should I continue with mine or am I just reinventing the wheel sort-of-speak? I really don't want to waste my time cause I'm playing with the Tsiolkovsky Crater at the moment.

Man this is fun! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Peace 8)
