Hello everybody,
but before I go on with the gluing of the supports on the other ring lines, I want to start (again) with the preparation of the Water Bags, which I had already begun a long time ago, until the reconstruction of the SRB Exhaust holes up to 1:144 has stopped me. ![]()
Since I meanwhile intend to present the MLP both with and without these Water Bags, I first had to think about how best to solve this constructively. ![]()
These elongated foil water bags, which are suspended into the SRB shafts, are filled with water only to a height of 12" (approx. 30 cm), as can be seen here again.
With a width of the (most) bags of also 12’’ and a length of 20’ (6,10 m shaft width), the result is about 550 liters of water per bag, which corresponds exactly to the volume of my aquarium. ![]()
First, I want to start with the bags in the back of the chamber (Secondary SRB Hole), with the first part reaching from the shaft back wall to the 18’’ outlets (Ø 46 cm) which contains 18 of these red bags. This will inevitably become a few less for my MLP because of the modification of the SRB holes … So what! ![]()
As can be seen in this image, the first water bag is hanging between the chamber back wall and the 36’’ feed pipe (Ø 91 cm) and is therefore somewhat narrower than the other bags in front of the pipe. The next two bags are somewhat wider than the remaining ones and also shortened in front of the inlet pipe, which should be taken into account in the following design.

So I first took measurements and made a new template for the partition walls,

and therefore get to work! 
Since the distance between the back wall and the inlet pipe is rather small, the first bag can be only 1,5 mm wide.

For gluing of the parts with MEK, I have carefully placed Teflon foil underneath. ![]()



Since the bag has a bit jammed during insertion, the length had to be adjusted slightly. 

Therefore the question for insertion came up, so it is probably more favorable to insert the bags later from the bottom into the shaft with installed ring line, because the SRB Blast Shield slightly protrudes at the top edge and therefore would disturb. 

And now to the batch production of the individual parts. For the “normal” bags I will use a square profile (2 mm x 2 mm) for the lower webs, and for the partition walls 0,2 mm Styrene Sheet by Evergreen.

The next time, however, it will go on with the two wider bags next to the inlet pipe (Ø 6,2 mm), for which I will use a rectangular profile (3 mm x 2 mm), after which the normal bags will then follow.
