blackhawk7 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 ;) :D Awesome work Oliver!! One question though, what kind of glue are you using? I noticed everything seems to stick very well but you don't have any messy glue edges/overspill between pieces (which I always get!). Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 :o Awesome work Oliver!! One question though, what kind of glue are you using? I noticed everything seems to stick very well but you don't have any messy glue edges/overspill between pieces (which I always get!). Cheers, Tom Tom I use slow Ca for my brass work and Tamiya thin for plastic work. I apply all Ca work with either a toothpick or the end of the needle. I try not to apply glue all the way to the edges of the part, I mainly stay in the middle . Once the part is positioned on its gluing area a slight pressure on the part with the toothpick will carry the glue all the way to the edge...if it goes over I rapidly wipe off with the end of the toothpick. If its a tricky part to be glued I tape on end down so it stays in place and apply glue on that part. I hope this hepls. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shark 64 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 A W E S O M E !!!There are some items that would make great resin parts for us mortals ... Hi Klaus I would not mind duplicating some engine parts for the Huey. I have no experinence in resin stuff whatsoever. Someday I plan to start tackling with it. Working on the engine brackets right now. 3 different elements have to come together at once so a little more calculating is needed. Will post photos soon. Hows you Cobra doing ?

If you send me the parts I'd be more than happy to make some molds (read: keep them) ... Hows you Cobra doing ? Thanks for asking. Let's put it that way, I'm improving (the hard way) my skills on making molds and casting resin! Maybe, and I say maybe , I'll have something to show you next weekend ...

shark 64 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Heres the latest. I started from the end instead of the middle. I wanted to make sure I had all the small details done before working on the main brackets. I am going to try to solder the brackets together. Weight is becoming an issue with so much brass. I will have to screw down the firewalls. Hope you guys like it Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eastern Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Can't find proper words not to say some trivial things, but... Well, awesome!!! The more I follow your thread, the more it amazes me. The pisc show absolutely flawless, crisp and neat details. But they are zoomed at least 3 times and how tiny they must be in flesh! Fantastic job, Oliver! Perfect! Hat off! Keep your stunning work up! Alexander. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver Sorry, I was wondering if any of the turbine blades were from your PE collection or did you make them. More details on how you made them, if you did. Freaking amazing work! mason Edited April 16, 2010 by doupnik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marine4 ever Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm not sure this qualifies as a plastic kit any more? The exhaust looks spectacular Oliver! Semper Fi Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The rest is from the Eduard Huey stuff. Glad you like it. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ice225 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Looks like you don't need kits anymore - as always you update astonished and impressed me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evnewsphoto Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Amazing as always... dito on what the other guys said! So are you building it with the Turbine removed I am guessing (based on the FOD plate in exhaust I see)? And are you going to show it next to the Huey since I am sure you could scratchbuild the engine in the time it takes me to glue a part on my CH-46. Awesome work again!

Engine removed next to the Huey on aircraft carrier deck. I am still trying to figure out how to detail the turbine. Thanks again for the kind words. Hows your CH 46 coming along. any progress.
