D7S Mercury instructions?

**dhanners** · #1 12-13-2013, 10:55 AM

I bought Dan Shippey's Delta 7 Studios' "Friendship 7" from Fiddlers Green (was just wanting one model, not several...) and while it includes an exploded-view assembly diagram, I was wondering if anyone here who has the CD might be willing to share the "full" instructions, if that's not improper. I can give you an email address if you PM me.

Again, I don't want to ask anything that's not improper. I just wish FG included better instructions on this one....

I should add I've dropped an email to Dan Shippey to see if he'll send me the instructions. No reply yet....

I don't recall having any real issues with the FG instructions. Were you having specific problems, or did you just want to see what Dan's instructions were like?

Just wanted Dan's instructions. They're usually quite good and guys like me need all the help they can get....

Agreed on all points! I remember I couldnt figure out the periscope until I found three pictures explaining it on the Fiddlers Green site. I suspect those three are taken directly from Dan's instructions.

I wound up doing it in 1/32nd, to be in the same scale as the two recent Geminis that I built.

It is still a work-in-progress; maybe I'll have photos later in the week. I was just going to do a "simple" out-of-the-box build, but the more research material I amassed, the more I realized I might have to scratchbuild and add a "few" parts.
