Teuchter Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Excellent work, as is usual in your threads. If you haven't cut out all the seats yet, how about reprinting them as red lines on white paper, then dyeing? Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am making a 'standard scheme' one in gn/gy/bk I got a bit lost trying to follow which one you’re doing now Bill. Is it one of the ones in Andy’s terrific photo’s or some other one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don That is the way I am thinking at the moment, there has to be more thinking done (but at least I have the engineer's panel sorted now) The smaller holes need redoing to make them more distinct and easier to cut out too Steve I have decided to make ZA714 EX the one with the Secret Squirrel*, which does not seem to be the one in the special scheme at the time which means that Andy is welcome to the Modeldecals sheet if he would like it Andy no the image was not the ideal size I measured the inside of the PK-413 between the tail and the windows and reduced the image in Paint Shop Pro 4 which I have managed to reinstate into the computer at last (My old CD from one of the Computer mags with a freebie in was decreed unusable by Win 10 when I tried to load from it) I find it is the simplest image manipulator out there but more sophisticated than my other free prog, Paint After measuring the length I needed I printed it out to a size that looks right with regard to length and seat back height If you want a sized copy when I have it to suit I can PM it to you *Seems right and proper to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 I could probably guess some of the gear inside there but since it is irrelevant to me I am not about to make any guesses Or attempt to put in any comms gear or such that may be relevant to ZA714s career I will work up a pair of squirrels, are they LAG would you reckon? I will pop the MDsheet in the post this week before I forget I opened the seats image again and negatived it then coloured it and now there are no more black outlines to fight Tedious trimming now ensues... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 And all that woad` Oh wait woad was blue wasnt it, this is another dyed fabric The seats cut out of thin copyer paper and dribbled through the dye pot I think these look better than the ones from the old artwork, no black smudges as here I have just a couple more to cut out of my prints then I can find out if my calculation of the size needed was OK 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope They need reducing even further, fortunately I have now prepared one that is the right size 44 minutes ago, CedB said: Flippin' 'eck Bill, you cut out all those little holes and stuff by hand??!! The holes were easy using my 1mm chisel to slice squares, wont be quite as easy this time but I have decided I only want one Wokka this time round so I'm not doing two sets (Image 96mm wide on PAGE SETUP Andy, I could send you a sheet of paper the size that fits inside. Sixteen seats each side) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Yes Andy that is the image complete with the skinny border outside the frame I can send it to you if you like I sized it by sitting the paper cut outs alongside with minimal gap like the 'inside' photos I have in my file 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ooops. Sorry I'm (very) late, page 4 already! I have a note from my Mum.......... How I missed this I just do not know. Lovely build so far of a lovely helicopter. They have been active down here of late, ferrying the green men out of Hamworthy all over Studland and the local vicinity. Beautiful noise. I'll be quiet and watch now. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 I wonder why... I cut out all of my seats and dyed them scarlet, as planned But it seems I have to risk making each one different or make myself a folding jig so the seat panel joins the frame at the same place Dohh, where's me 0.024" polycard? And the new six inch rule? Back later chaps, hopefully with pictures And maybe an H-19 with controls in and masking going on... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 OK , jig made up and used to fold seats and the first seat is glued to the front rail A length of Evergreen as you'd expect, Vallejo paints Silber brushed on Now a row of seats in place but I am a bit concerned Gator's Grip, never feels quite grippy enough to me This bit was relatively easy, now comes the difficult-er bit Putting the rear rail on when there is no 'real' location for it Two six inch rules used to locate and settle the rails as they dry And finally (for this stage) the pair of rails in place Now I will build the lower structure with its curved cross pieces and place the legs on After that is done I can work out the actual location of the upper straps and back rests, then make the upper straps to the length they need While the Gator's Grip has been deciding to stick I have been populating the rear frame structure in the cabin with some pipes and hydraulics devices I have no intention of putting in the myriad of pipery that nestles inside the frames, a few representative ones is all Just a few visual delights huh? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
