  1. Hi! Where do you live? I was serching for Dragon figures, so ordered 4 figures from Bravo 6. Expensive but hope it worth it. Also ordered alot of other stuff for $250. So now i have to finish my work on this helo in near months. Do you have any models in progress or finished?
  2. Hello Oliver, can you advice some nessesary materials for Weathering? I want to order Mig Weathering encyclopedia and materials in one order, for my huey project. Don't want to wait each order separately.
  3. Thank you Oliver, I'll try to make it fit.
  4. Many thanks for such a valuable information! Can I ask you, is it worth to buy bravo6 crew? Thinking about buying it (crew and gunners), but it costs 40$ here in Russia. Is it better than mine paper maded pilot?
  5. And one more question. Did the Huey crew ever flight with 3 crew members (pilot, copilot, door gunner) or only 4 (pilot, copilot, door gunner, crew chief)? Because i have only 3 figures :facepalm
  6. I mean this There is too much space between sight grip and gunners hand.
  7. Guys, i need your advice. I messed up with that pilots figures. Nothing goes right. I wanted to make a action diorama, like "rescuing trooper" in the Vietnam field. But now i realise that it going to be a crazy sized dio. And that figures don't want to take their places. Pilot is ok. But the co-pilot/gunner is the real mess. It is not possible to make his hands fits the aiming stick. Especially it unreal to make co-pilot's hands position before i assembled and glued all the interior. But it will not be possible to place co-pilot after interior is done. That is the real paradox. So now i t
  8. Hi Oliver, Yes, i've made seatbelts from Eduard photoetch, but i don't like them. I want to remake them with Tamiya tape or with clothes labels.
  9. Thanks alot for that! Can i ask for a favor? If i make a colorful drawing of all marks and sights for this helo, can you tell me is everything is right or not? Before i started to paint work on helo. Don't want to make any mistakes.
  10. Thanks! For seats i used my wife's socks, clean socks ofcourse :))) Like this one Inner side of socks goes to outer side of seats. Because there is more tiny fabric texture in the inner side. But! i can recommend you to use clothes labels for that purpose, as a friend of mine recommeded me (actualy i didn't try this method), but the texture of label are pretty much better thean on socks. Just take a look
  11. Thanks for your interest guys! I planing to make "Miss Mini" 66-15193 from 118th ahc, 15193 tailnumber. Custom decals are ready. But i still not shure about paint scheme. I have couple photos, but it isn't anought ((( If someone could help me with photo references it will be great!
  12. Update. Ia was affraid that pilot's head will broke the upper window, so decided to make a fitting. Rebuilded swashplate. Sawing, sandind, scratching. Want to make realistic look when rotorblades are in takeoff angle position. Crew is ready to takeoff. Doors. Not finished yet. Pilot's uniform update. Cokpit in progress.
  13. Hi Nikolay! Привет, земляк :))) Thanks for your advice obout colors. Uniform colors and details looks better in real life then on photo. I tried to make a good photo, but every time it too sharp, too bright or too dark. I think i should make a rotating video with direct light, so you can see actual details (deep multiple folds of uniform fabric) and actual colors. This paper-method allows you to make numerous microscopic folds like on real fabric. Using a dry brush, these micro folds can be made very realistic. I think i sould work a little bit on colors correction, to make more contrast
  14. Here is some update... This is my first ever try of making/painting any figures. Why i decided to to this mess? Becouse i've made fully scratchbuilded seats and custom figures won't fit to it. Aslo i don't like positioning of legs and arms, they don't fit pedals and control lever. 1. Sanding out almost everithing from body. As you can see there is no way to make perfect putty-work... 2. Laying first sleeve. 3. Pants and sleeves are ready + pre-paint. 4. Jacket in progress.
  15. Glad to see you here Oliver. I was working on the crew figures. Trying to make real looking clothes with paper and PVA. Almost have finished co-pilot. But two days ago my 7yo son broke his arm and I'm in the hospital with him now, after surgery. I'll try to post some pics today. Also decided to repaint instrument panel, mini guns and some other parts, don't like it flat look.
  16. Hi friends, 7 years have passed since the last post on my previous protracted project http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/201224-building-of-mi-24v-hind-135-trumpeter/ Then I put aside my Mi-24 1/35 byTrumpeter into a long box due to lack of information and started UH-1C 1/35 by Academy. From the beginning everything went wrong. I ordered the wrong modification. "Gunship" wanted, ordered "Frog". In this configuration there was neither the necessary rocket launchers, nor miniguns, nor ammunition box. At first I thought about ordering a new model, but decide
  17. Hi all, I present my model of the Black Pearl. This is my first ship model. Build time: 45 days. Manufacturer: Zvezda. Scale: 1/72. Painting: Acrylic Tamiya. Weathering: Acrylic Tamiya, Tempera paint, Pastel. Builded Out of the box, nothing added from myself. I look forward to your comments.
  18. Hello my friends! And again, thank to all of you for your interest and your support! But so far my project is stuck in one place. Probably because I'm too sensitive about this building. Trying to make a perfect missile units UB-32A-24, I messed up 3 out of 4 cones of the system. But one of them now looks perfect:) Now I need to duplicate this part and do 3 more. So I stuck with scratchbulding main gearbox VR-24 and with the starting unit AI-9V, because I did not have enough information. So I took up the construction of UH-1C gunship in 1/35. And maybe soon I will share with you h
