youngtiger1 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 This is coming along really nice. Just the other night I pulled out the main fuselage parts out of the box and taped them together to see how big this monster will be and I must say...it was huge! Not the mention the rotor blades diameters once they are on. Totally nuts and I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmerit Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thank you lads. Its still heading in the right direction, and so far no major b0ll0cks dropped. Time yet!! Last bits to select from to go in the back. Bergens not come from InAccurate Armour yet which is gutting. I think I have some in the back f a WMIK somewhere I can nick hopefully. If I have, then its close up today!! The last just before hand is to make the curly comms wire from the loadie lookign through that hatch, and that's 2 mins of a job. getting a lot of grief from the mrs about not doing jobs in the house and holy hell on when I told her where I wanted to put it!! My modelling time may be slipping away for the summer very soon. Liek I've told her I'll stop after the two halves are joined up and crack on with the house. Really reluctant to do that as getting the motivation back is rock hard and I'm a man on a mission at the minute! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 so where is the obvious place to look for a day sack and bergens I ask? Back of a 4 tonner!! 1/35th of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Now this is an interesting one. Goggles a dad of steel epoxy resin in each lens and it self-levels. Reflective and actually quite convincing. I hope I remember that one as it works OK for lens glass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simmerit Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks Dag mate. Hello Terry. The lightweight................. just needs the headlights wiring up and the first petrol tank connecting and its away mate. And an MOT. This summer. Deffo. Everything else is done on it. On the Wokka. I'm running out of things to do now that stop me assembling it. Just spotted an omission which needs sorting. There is no lever for the ramp with the model so I need to make one. Half an hours work fortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 hopefully get the hydraulics in for the ramp tomorrow as well as the lever painted, then that is deffo it. deffo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG058 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Any idea what paint you'll be using for the green? I'm hoping to go buy some tomorrow for the piece of junk Airfix kit that I'm currently building. I haven't a clue what to get though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the Falkands paint pack or send off to Poland and it takes 2 weeks. I did both. I have lots of Olive Drab paint now..............................................

simmerit Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 just a point. Where I am at with the ramp is the non-slip is generally so heavily worn,I an intending to hairspray/mask it and spray aircraft grey over the top then scratch out the black I want to see, which wont be very much at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 lovely work. It's quite surprising the amount of ancillaries and add-ons that are available in 1/35 or 1/32 scale. It's almost tempting me to start my Fly Wessex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmerit Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) lovely work. It's quite surprising the amount of ancillaries and add-ons that are available in 1/35 or 1/32 scale. It's almost tempting me to start my Fly Wessex I was looking at the HC2 this morning. its got to be done mate. When I look at what you turned out in 1/48th, you will have a ball in a bigger scale Edited April 24, 2016 by simmerit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
