arkhunter2002 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Very impressive! +1 with what Avus said, it's hard not to think its larger than 1/35th. Take care, Austin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Holy crap, you could take this model & use as an instructional aid for new -47 pilots & crew chiefs. Incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waterman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow Ted, your work is truly inspirational!!! It's great to see such amazing talent! Do you mind sharing the references you are using for all your detailing? I have the A version of this kit and would appreciate knowing where to look for photos or sources.

lineman Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thank you Carl, The book Chinook in detail by Wings and Wheels Publications. and the web site Prime Portal is good , and you can Google Chinook i hope this helps. Ted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 1/35 wiring, bound together with 1/35th zip ties???? Who does this?? Really, this is just fantastic work. Can't wait to see the kit come together. I thought about doing a 1/35 Chinook at some point but all the resin from Cobra was $100+, then you still have a ton of work to get things detailed. Just too much for me. Glad to see someone has the courage to do this kit. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ted. Thanks Ted! I'll keep an eye out for the Wings and Wheels book. I thought about doing a 1/35 Chinook at some point but all the resin from Cobra was $100+, then you still have a ton of work to get things detailed. Just too much for me.John That's for sure. I quit modeling back in the '70s and recently returned to the hobby last year. One thing that strikes me is how expensive this hobby's become. One thing I will say though. The builds I'm seeing today, far exceed those I admired back in the '70s. Edited January 21, 2011 by waterman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Fitzgerald Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Amazing detail, this is really inspirational. I'm building a 1/35 scale Hind at the moment and I'm trying to super detail that. I spent a lot of time on the engines and with the plumbing and wires there, but this is really something else. It's definately helped inspire me in my project too!

evnewsphoto Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You are amazing! How do make the hex shaped nuts and fittings? Don't tell me you carve those from scratch! And like the other guys wondered about how did you make zip ties? Amazing. I know 1/35th is a big scale but it's still a scale and not the real thing. Please share your amazing secretes with us. Stunning work. Everett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lineman Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thank you Everett. For the hex nuts i use hex rod 0.8mm and 1.0mm from Plastruct ,and i use pipe fittings # 1 and adapter fittings #1 by Detail Master Co. The zip ties i use detail wire code #DM 1101 by Detail Master and twist it together. Hope this helps. Ted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if it would work for 1/48th? Again outstanding work a pleasure to see. Everett Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattC Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 This has to be one of the most impressive helicopter builds I have ever seen. I'm not a heli expert so I don't know what is right or wrong, but what I do know is that your craftsmanship is top notch, and it looks utterly convincing. Excellent, and the shading on the pilot figures clothing (last pic) is some of the best I have seen anywhere. Brilliant work, and a bucketload more patience and skill than I fear I will ever posess.
