Dyne's MSE-4

[Dyne]

Seems legit.

I wonder if the slant on my greebles will be controversial...



Anyway, back to the build.

I had a hard time sorting out the various blueprints I've seen (when I put in the numbers, nothing seems to line up on the sloped parts, regardless whether I treat the values as 2D vectors angles or as true 3D values).  It's not a big deal.  This is an MSE-4, not an MSE-6, and I was just using the existing plans for approximate values. I don't really care about screen accuracy for this thing ... you only ever see them from a distance in one scene.


Took a few more measurements of the car to make this very rough version of the shape of the chassis, facing to the right.  This is mainly to try to make sure everything ends up inside the shell, so it isn't terribly precise. The angle on the rear bit of the chassis is just pulled out of thin air, by the way.



Also, from the front axle to the forward body mount screws is around 16 mm on center.
