Rotorman

Been a while since an update. My TV show "Lincoln Lawyer" is eating up all my modeling time on the weekend.

Ok, so here the latest. I took a few months off. i glued the fuselage together and I could not make everything line up because of the heavy surgery I did, it was a big mistake I did not see ahead of the work. I don't want to bin this kit cause it such a cool helicopter and I put so much work into it so I bought another kit just for the fuselage. It is no longer a Sub hunting helo since I could not salvage the inside(glued to fuselage side). A new interior is being worked on.

Wow, this looks so sharp. I really like the folded seats. nice progress my friend, can't wait to see more progress. Have a great recovery. Oliver

Hi looks like the work on the Wasp is done(at least the design/printing part) This is such incredible CAD work from Le Baron. I just can't wait to get started on this one. Better to start saving money. Oliver

Is Snowman and Takom the same company?

Nice looking tail rotor( i hope its not glued yet cause may break during future handling). Sorry to hear about your paint mix, hope you can match the paint color but then again I am sure you can experiment with fading fuselage effects if you dont get the exact match. Oliver

All good here except the heat in my modelroom with no AC, it makes it hard to concentrate when it's this hot. thanks for checking in. Oliver

Well now all we need with this book is a scale up kit to 1/35. Yeah yeah I know I'm dreaming

Well, I had to dust the spiderwebs on my keyboard. I hope you saved some of your paint mix, once the fuselage glued together you still have to work the seams and work out the lost rivets detail from sanding. Glue your windows now and mask them. Sorry to say this but painting the fuselage now at this step of the build is counterproductive to your work. I do like your paint mix of the Marine green. Did u paint the nose already as well? Create a plastic frame from styrene over your windows so you don't pop them out during sanding session.

Is this a MRC kit with Trumpeter's name on it.

Have you started building?

Airbrush. Low setting. Needle cover off.

I did not want to do an all black rotor blades so I am going with dark sea grey on top and dark green/black mix for the bottom. Will add yellow strips on the blades last as well as the yellow tips.

How u doing? How did the surgery go?

any update on this?
