Hi everyone,
since I now know from two experts that I chase after no phantom, now a next step for the implementation of this wave-like ring structure on model ET.
As I've said already, there are these two discussed possibilities, either by a
3D printing, if
Michael Key finally would have time and desire, or by
Scratch-building.
Since Michael Key for his 3D model but already should know about what shape and especially what dimensions should have this wavy line, I have now tried to draw a first scetch.
Starting from the
Peak-to-Valley width of about
5'' = 127 mm = 0,9 mm (1:144) specified by
Vincent Morales , which roughly matches my previous estimates from photos, I have sketched the following profile (1:2), which should show this wavelike foam structure, how I could imagine it.
Considering that the average
SOFI thickness on the ET is
approx. 1'' (25,4 mm) , I have drawn a profile whose
peak height I assumed with about 0,5'', which with approx. 0,1 mm in 1/144 would be very flat.
Now it would be important to find out how large this peak-height actually was at that time in the foam insulation.
Let's see if or how
Craig Capdepon or
Vincent Morales will comment on that, since they should actually remember it.
