Re: Joint Task Force Pope
I believe I know how my 3D-printing son is going to spend a few weekends with his dad... We are going to have a miniature Ray Barracks in my basement! Been to Conn - took the M1 driver's thermal viewer there for testing in '81 and wife was stationed at Wurzburg '93-'97. Went up to Schweinfurt for my tank fix a few times.

That is a very cool approach. It would be a solid building.
I glue thin plastic sheets to the inside of the walls with a glue stick and then glue plastic L corner pieces to hold the corners together. Holds up well and is lightweight.

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Whenimaginationfails, that sounds like a good technique! I think I might give that a shot on some future buildings. I'm still experimenting quite a bit, and I knw I want to have hangars and maintenance bays open, so that might be a great way to stabilize the building and keep the internal space open!
PG, you gotta share your Ray Barracks project! I don't know that caserne, but I spent a lot of time at Conn Barracks (usually when the brigade commander wanted to chew our butt for something) Spent a ton of time in Wuerzburg - beautiful city! I would move there in a second if I had an opportunity.
Nice bomber, Mech!

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Did you know Ted Barnes at Conn?
Ray Barracks (where Elvis served) was in Friedberg, near Frankfurt 3AD. I also spent some time in Baumholder. Wife dragged me to Wurzburg. All were privileged assignments. Also enjoyed those periodic excursions to Grafenwohr, Hohenfels, and Wildflecken.

Thanks took me 3 and a half hours to print this bomber on my Ender 3 pro.
