Hey Guy's,
I've been wanting to build a Fat Man for a while now. I decided to build a small 8" diameter one first and then go 1/4 or 1/2 scale (15" or 30" diameter). Will be easier to see how it performs small scale. The 8" diameter was chosen because that's the largest plastic egg I could find.
Keeping it very simple I put 3.9" bodytube up the middle of the egg and will blow everything motor and all out the back using a coupler tube.
The reason I'm posting is I'd like to see any ideas anyone has on a shell I can use on a scaled up version now that you see the basic design in the pictures below. Can't find any blow molds or eggs big enough. Also want to stay away from shaping foam.
Any ideas???
