The MechaSkunk Store - Custom Metal Option Parts
More metal goodness is now available! Four new sizes of custom machined aluminum thrusters have been added to the store, along with restock of the ever popular G-Thrusters. Originally designed for use on the Master Grade Kampfer, these new thrusters can be used on most any Master Grade and other model kits. Can be purchased in sets, or individually, to mix and match however you please. Enjoy!
Additional Images - G-Thruster
(thanks go out to Michael Fichtenmayer for letting me use some of his pics)
New pictures of the K-Thrusters, quickly assembled onto a Master Grade Kampfer. The first two images - the thruster on the left is a dual bell, with a small nested inside a medium, along with a G-Baffle. The thruster on the right is a dual bell, with a medium nested inside a large, with a K-Baffle. The third image is of the K-Baffles, replacing some of the shoulder surface verniers, and the fourth is a G-Baffle, replacing the chest surface vernier.
The following images show how best to put together the thrusters, using the Short and Long Socket Pins. The pins can be used in either direction, so the open end of the thruster either has a pointy tip, or a hollow tube sticking out of it. In order to switch from one to the other, simply take the assembly process, as shown in the exploded images, flip the pins end for end, and insert them from the opposite end of the thruster. For example - take the G-Thruster - looking at the exploded image, you insert the baffle onto the pin, then insert the thruster onto the pin. In order to have the pointed end sticking out of the thruster, take the pin and flip it around - then first insert into the thruster, then the baffle. A few assembly notes - the baffles are a tight fit on the long Socket Pins - they will fit though. Also, you'll notice a ridge on the long Socket Pin, near the open end - if you press firmly, this ridge can be pushed into the thruster hole, providing a fairly secure connection.
