perdu Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Do not be too impressed Terry, it is a long winded and unforgiving game and I am only half way round I took about twenty pictures of this and the H-19 but the crapulous file system architecture WIN 10 imposes on me has lost most of them along with some good ones I hoped to share with you all I HATE WINDOWS 10 XP wasnt broken Win 7 worked Why WIN 10? Serves no useful purpose for me... All those lost and wasted photos 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel (and share) your pain.... I postponed the upgrade from Win7 to Win10 as much as I could on my home PC, but I'm still working with Win 7 Pro on my office workstation ... holding fast!

perdu Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thank the lord for mobile phones that have Postimage as an ap in them I spent fruitless hours trying to open the pictures I took yesterday, of the Sea King's pilot's seats Airfix give you a pair of stately thrones which are taller than they ought to be and with a thick base that looks as if it grows out of the plastic of the cockpit floor A few saw strokes and a little work with thin polycard soon gives us Take the saw along each edge to represent the tubular frames that the seat cushions are supported in and a pair oof triangles for each seat to represent the bracing brackets holding them still (they are flat pieces of metal with an infill cover of triangular canvas according to most photos I have seen) In three admittedly poor photos I can show what I could not get even close to in the Win10 file system Grr I am getting on with the pax seating too with the legs all the same(ish) height ready for brush painting laters ... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Glad you sorted your photographic issues, Bill Those seats look neat! Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thank you Giorgio, not quite as neat now First attempt at Sea king seats for commercial use Sea Grey frames, Green backrest and sheepskin seat cushions awaiting faded blue/grey/violet-ish straps I am mixing up for hopefully realistic contrast The seat cushion is a mix of talcum powder and RAL9001 Weiss which is a very creamy colour normally The edges between the green backrest and the cushion will be made straight before the seats go into service, promise 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Photography is now available So here's a picture of the Pilot's seats ready to get set So many seating choices for the S-61N I just took a punt with modified Airfix Thrones Seen here on a donor model in need of being a sacrifice Pass me my tin helmet somebody, a certain amount of incoming could be expected here huh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Small but positive increments huh? Difficult to see in there isnt it, lets light it up a tadlet Too bright now? Still useless, might have been better not to get the pictures back Oh well how''s this? Seating arrangement is now settled Not that I expect to see them once the cabin is closed up Right, back to the windows It'll be a while... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
