Leo Cherkashin - Proton

[mk310149]

Hi, I'm building the Proton M with her launchpad.
Because I'm from Germany and my english is not so good, I write in German.
I hope, it's okay and you can read this....

Ich trage mich schon einige Zeit mit dem Gedanken, ein Modell von Leos Seite zu bauen....Nun soll es werden und zwar die Proton mit Startanlage..
Ich hab in den mir bekannten einschlägigen Foren keinen Baubericht gefunden, obwohl es die Downloads schon ein paar Tage gibt...Ich denke, dass es Leo freuen und motivieren wird, wenn mal jemand das Teil baut.

Der Bogen besteht aus 4 Teilen, die Proton M (man kann auch noch die Proton K bauen), dem beweglichen Startturm, dem Launchpad und derm Transporter. Maßstab ist 1:96.

Fotos von Leo's Bau:

Picasa Web Albums - Joe - Proton (http://picasaweb.google.com/jepolch/Proton#)

Zuerst bau ich die Rakete.
Es geht mit der Stufe A los. Die besteht aus dem Oxident Tank und 6 Fuel Tanks sowie den Triebwerken.
Als erstes wird der Oxident-Tank gefertigt. Die Anleitung ist recht ordentlich und Unklarheiten beseitigen die o.g. Fotos.
Nach dem Zusammenbau des Zylinders wird die untere Hälfte des Adapters zur Stufe B sorgfältig ausgeschnitten und angebracht. Die Metallstifte dienen der Aufnahme des oberen Teils.
Anschliessend kommt der Sockel dran. Hier muss sorgfältig angepasst werden, sonst steht die Rakete schief....

Dann werden schon mal die Teile für die 6 Tanks vorbereitet....

Hey Michael,
Wilkommen auf dieses Forum! Du kannst, wann du deine Satzen einfach formuliert, eine der viele Übersetzungsmaschinen (http://translate.google.de/#de%7Cen%7C) auf dem Internet benutzen. Genau sowie z.B. Merzo es macht. Manchmal gibt das etwas fremde Resultate aber die sind auch lustig. Viele Leute hier sprechen leider kein Deutsch.

Die Proton-Rakete von Leo ist ein gutes Modell zu bauen. Ich selbst habe schon bereits eine gebaut. Das Ausschneiden der Interstage ist ein harter Job, aber das Ergebnis ist sehr schön.

-- literal translation via Google--
Welcome to this forum! You can see when you put your sentence simply use one of the many translation engines on the Internet. Just as well for example Merzo it does. Sometimes there is something strange results but they are also funny. Many people here speak no German.

The Proton rocket from Leo is a good model to build. I myself have already built one. Cutting the interstage is a tough job, but the result is very beautiful.

[mk310149]

Thank you..now I have translate via Google...

I have been wearing for some time with the idea of a model of Leo's side to build .... Now let it be and that is the Proton.
I've found in the relevant forums that I know no assembly report, although the downloads are already a few days ... I think it will please Leo motivate and, if time someone builds the part.

The sheet consists of 4 parts, the Proton M (you can also build the Proton K), the mobile launch tower, the launchpad and derm transporter. Scale is 1:96.

Photos of Leo's construction:

Picasa Web Albums - Joe - Proton

First I build the rocket.
It starts with the A Level. Which consists of the tank and 6 Oxident Fuel tanks and the engines.
First, the Oxident tank is manufactured. The manual is quite good and eliminate ambiguity, the above Photos.
After assembly of the cylinder, the lower half of the adapter to the stage B is carefully cut and installed. The metal pins are used to hold the upper part.
Then moves on to the base. This must be made carefully, otherwise the rocket is wrong ....

Then ever, the parts for the 6 tanks prepared ....

[mk310149]

Es geht mit den 6 Tanks weiter....Die Fotos verdeutlichen den Baufortschritt. Es klappt auch recht gut.
Nachdem die Halteteile am Rumpf befestigt sind, können die Tanks reihum angeklebt werden.
Eigentlich ganz einfach, aber.....
...wie man deutlich sieht, sind die Tanks in der Grundfläche größer als die Grundplatte, ausserdem ist an dieser durch das Verstärken mit Pappe die Kante deutlich zu sehen.
Was tun?
Erstmal hab ich den Bogen mit der Platte noch mal mit 110 % ausgedruckt.
Da waren auch die Zwischenverbindungen zu den Tanks drauf. So konnte ich die weisse Rückseite derselben doppeln. Dann habe ich einen weissen Streifen unten herum geklebt, der auch die Pappkanten abdeckt. Zum Schluss habe ich die Grundplatte zerschnitten und die einzelnen Triebwerksaufnahmen zwischen die Fuel-Tanks geklebt. das hat eigentlich gut geklappt.
Nun nur noch die "Nozzles" zusammenbauen, ankleben und fertig....denkste!!! http://www.kartonist.de/images/bruell.gif
Ich hatte vergessen, die Löcher in der Grundplatte auszuschneiden, was auch nicht vermerkt war...Die Triebwerke werden nämlich teilweise eingesteckt...
Nun gut, eine ziemliche Pfriemelei, das nachträglich auszuschneiden, aber letztendlich doch zufriedenstellend.
Damit ist die erste Stufe der Proton fertiggestellt.....

Google-Translation:

It goes with 6 tanks further .... The photos show the progress. It works quite well.
After the holding parts are attached to the hull, the tanks can be glued in turn.
Quite simple, but .....
... As you can clearly see the tanks in the base area larger than the base plate, is also clearly visible in this by reinforcing the cardboard with the edge.
What to do?
First I have to bow to the plate again printed with 110%.
Since the intermediates to the tanks were on it. So I could double by the white back of it. Then I glued a white strip around the bottom, which covers the Pappkanten. Finally I cut the base and glued the images between the individual engine fuel tanks. this has actually worked well.
Now only assemble its nozzles, glue and finish .... No way! http://www.kartonist.de/images/bruell.gif
I had forgotten to cut the holes in the base plate, which was not recorded ... The engines are in fact plugged in part ...
Well, quite a Pfriemelei, which subsequently cut out, but I ended satisfactorily.
The first phase of the proton is completed ...

[Paper Kosmonaut]

Quite an inventive solution, Michael.
By the way, when you see parts with a red crossed-out section, they are supposed to be cut out or off.
Übung macht den Meister! And very good results so far. a Nice clean build.

[mk310149]

The second stage ...

no construction problems. All it's easy.
Just a small mistake ... maybe to see it in the last photo. But surely only by people who know exactly the proton ....:confused:

Whoever finds him .......gets to keep it ... ...:)

[Paper Kosmonaut]

I think it's the small fairings on top. You forgot to fold the sides inward to make them pointy. nevertheless a very fine build so far.

When it comes to the launch pad, it takes up a lot of space. I started with the launch pad itself and also made the erector part of the display, but it became too big in 1/96. The launch pad itself however, is a very nice and complicated part. There are even moving parts that hold the Proton to the pad! It is a bit harder than the rocket itself so take your time with it.

good luck!

[mk310149]

No, thats another point. I have made it so I have seen it in the pictures.
But I have turned the plate with nozzles and interstage a bit too right, so that now the supports (B16) are not in line with supports A6.....


And here ist stage 3..

BTW thank you for the tip for the launch pad!

[mk310149]

Nun sind auch die Spitze und das Modul fertig....
...der Adapter noch und die Proton M steht.... http://www.kartonist.de/wbb2/images/smilies/x-blob-yellow.gif

Jetzt bereite ich die Launch Plattform vor, aber momentan ist Scheebereinigung angesagt... http://www.kartonist.de/images/bruell.gif

Google translate:

Now, the top and the module is ready ....
... still the adapter and the Proton M is ready for start....http://www.kartonist.de/wbb2/images/smilies/x-blob-yellow.gif

Now I prepare the launch platform, but now snow cleanup announced ...http://www.kartonist.de/images/bruell.gif

[umtutsut]

Extraordinary work! Your Proton epitomizes what I mean when I tell people card models can be at least equal in quality to plastic/resin kits, and in the hands of a skilled craftsperson like you, superior.

I still have to butcher a few more models before my card modeling skills are up to building one of Leo's marvelous kits.

:cool: Les (Friendly Airplane Asylum & ex-NASA flack)

[dhanners]

Fine job! Leo designed a great model, and you've done a great job of building it.

[peter taft]

One of my Favourites you have built here Sir.... and what a build :eek: you have done her proud. Pat yourself on the back for a job VERY well done indeed ;)

[vipers7]

Excellent built or to put it in other words: Hervoragend!!!

[mk310149]

Thank you very much for all your compliments!:)

Now the first part of the launch pad is completed, the leek platform ...
The building is wonderful, is not too difficult, although there are many moving parts.
The assembly took place in the order of the photos ... until the upper platform, then the adapter with the sliding parts, then the subfloor.
There is increased appropriately with cardboard, otherwise they will be somewhat unstable. However, care must be taken strongly on dimensions, because the function of the access doors and the support rods could be affected ...
Glue So after the assembly of the body, the board ...
And only to the extent of the false floor! This is also a good parallel for this part.
The upper deck is partially reinforced from below. (On the edge leave space for the tape, otherwise it will be too high and you see after the side of the cardstock ..
At last, the access doors to the holding of the rocket tubes (which are open to mobile and !!!), then the Proton can be used.

[peter taft]

Michael.... You gave us a treat showing us this superb build of the Proton - Now here's a treat for you, ENJOY :)

My, that's quick! And a good result! Toll! Meine Komplimente!

[mk310149]

Thank you, the video is great!!!

die Adjusting Unit nimmt Gestalt an...
Auch hier ist viel Finnpappe zur Stabilisierung im Spiel..

the adjusting unit goes on...
also here I have take many cardboard for better stabilsation.
It's working fine!

Hello mk310149 !!!
Congratulations for the beautifull Proton !
It's the first time I see a proton launch pad.
Please can you say where I can find this paper kit ?
Cheers

Nun ist die "Adjusting Unit" in der Rampe eingebaut und die Gleise sind verlegt....

Dann gehts zur Transporteinheit...


Now I have build the "Adjusting Unit" into the platform and the railway ist ready...

Than we can go to the Transporter...

[mk310149]

Momentan bin ich am Transporter, das ist glaube ich das schwierigste Stück Arbeit, da die Klammer beweglich wird...

In the moment I'm working at the transporter...I think that is the difficultest part, because the clamp will be movable...

[Paper Kosmonaut]

Wow! That's nice! nice work, Michael.
I never got that far with the pad structure. Leo's design is beautifully detailed. Did you use a hollow punch (Locheisen) for the holes?

[mk310149]

Yes, I use a hollow punch for any holes if it passed...the big holes I cut with cutter, the smallest with a needle..

[dhanners]

Great work. Having built Leo's Proton myself, I've been thinking about whether I should build the launch pad and following this thread has given me some good ideas.

If I may suggest something, though, you should check out a Japanese punch drill. They are also sometimes known as a Japanese book drill or Japanese screw punch. You can find affordable ones on Amazon and elsewhere. I got mine here:
Amazon.com: Japanese Book Drill / Screw Hole Punch with 5 Bits: Home & Garden (http://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Book-Drill-Screw-Punch/dp/B000RL58DQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1291727038&sr=8-1)

I only recently discovered them after hanging out in the ship-building forum for awhile -- I'm building a WWII minesweeper -- and all I can say is I wish I'd gotten one much earlier in my cardmodeling career. It is a tool that comes with interchangeable bits that allow you to punch various sized holes. I could've found a million uses for it when I was building some of my launch vehicles. (And I'll get back to building spacecraft and launch vehicles, by the way. I just need to get this @#$%*! ship done as a change of pace, but I've discovered that many of the kit parts are wrong and virtually all of the details have to be scratchbuilt.)

[mk310149]

Thank you for the hint.. I have such one:

https://www.amazon.de/Famex-3519-Lochzange-Hebelunterst%C3%BCtzung-Kraftersparnis/dp/B002W5VWCQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1291737767&sr=8-4

And now it goes on:
It's not easy, but in the end it moves .... big grin
I have enhanced openings for all axes with small cardboard rings because the holes could tear otherwise.
Unfortunately, Leo has obviously shortened compared with the testbuildpart, namely the three-point bracket on the left and right (see comparison photos), so that the part does not open completely ... confused
The rocket goes so only narrowly. But it works.

Now only the chassis and the remote controlled locomotive ...

[Leo09]

Thanks Michael!

It’s very important for me to see Your building steps! And to see not only Your brilliant results but my mistakes too.
I corrected my last “confuse” and published new version of page 6 now.

Thanks again!

Regards

Leo

[mk310149]

Thank you, Leo, for your feedback, I'm very pleased about a commendation from the designer!

Your correction I have downloaded, but I think, I will not change my building, because it's really difficult and I'm glad to finished it now....:)

friendly regards

[mk310149]

The van is ready ...
The locomotive for transport comes from the download of Leo's Tsyklon LP ...
Now the whole system view and a comparison with my Saturn V on the same scale.
Thanks to Leo for the excellent design!

[dhanners]

Great job! Looks like a really fine build and display.

[peter taft]

This is a thing of shear beauty. Your build of this remarkable model is truly outstanding. You Sir, are a MASTER builder :) ;) and a big thumbs up to her designer too :)

[Gideon]

:eek: Is that Greelt's Saturn in 1:96? She looks amazing! And a bang-up job on the Proton as well! You obviously have superior paper modeling skills, my friend. I look forward to watching more build threads from you.

[Ashrunner]

Absolutely beautiful. One of the best displays I've seen. Very well done!

[mk310149]

:eek: Is that Greelt's Saturn in 1:96? S
It's Ton's Saturn V combined with the engines F1 and J2 from Greelt...:) in 1:96...
Also I have modified the 3rd stage to open and filled with the moon-eagle...

and thanks for your friendly comments!

[Gideon]

Absolutely stunning work, Michael! A 1:96 LM to boot! I sooooo wish Greelt would finish his Saturn V... I may end up doing the same as you with the Ton/Greelt hybrid.

[enigma]

you are a very creative modeler, your sharing is a joy
thanks

[Retired_for_now]

Superb project(s)! Always nice to see how Leo's designs go together when built by a craftsman.
