[WIP] Class 317

Post by Isaacg »

Hello all,

It has been a while since I have been on here between school, two jobs, and other things. I have shelved my 321 and 319 projects - but they still exist! For now I am onto new pastures, venturing into the early 1980s with the Class 317. My biggest resource right now are photographs on Flickr, so any other recommendations for resources would be great! They seem like pretty versatile units not unlike the 313s. It would be great to adapt the 317 to the 455 as well, correct me if I am wrong, as they appear to be similar units (AC vs DC notwithstanding). The diaphragm is actually just a placeholder to give it a more complete look. My biggest challenge with the shell is the transition between the MkII body and the front of the DTSO unit because the shapes are different so the geometry is going to be a little more complex for me. I have a real thing for BR Blue electrics, so I am excited to see how this one will come along.
