Oliver :wub: :wub: :wub: Oliver, I am sorry to hear of your mishap. :blink: I have been following your work and I think your work is INCREDIBLE. Oliver you ARE ONE of the best modelers with an eye for detail and one who always bounces back I am sure. Good luck. HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Oh, that hurts all the way over here! Well, that's one way to become a world authority on scratchbuilding jet engines! I got a smile from the removal of the offending chair wheels- that's how to remove a problem from the equation for sure. Cheers, Oliver- you'll see it through. chuk Hi Thanks. Pushing forward on that engine. Oiver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is by far one I did NOT want to remake at all. I rather be working on the main rotor and blades. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Oliver, Not too many good top views of Huey engines, but here's what I could find in my walkarounds. Let me know if you need the pics of the isolated engine on a stand again. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shark 64 Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Hi Worked on the engine a bit. "trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole" I was trying to duplicate the side engine parts but it felt like that line in Apollo 13. I had to build a frame around the rounded part of the engine in order to attach the upcoming yet to be build parts. It looks like a screen tv right now but that will change. Had to glue the plastic frame one piece a time and let it dry, a lot of torque on the plastic. Thanks to Ray for his great photos.

Anthony in NZ Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Just superb Oliver!!! You came back fighting thats for sure....well done mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shark 64 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Thanks Anthony. Glad you like it. Worked on the engine this last few days. Still work in process but its moving along just fine. I must say that Ray's photos are a big help. I am trying to stay as close to the real engine as I can (for a change).

Youngtiger1 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Wow Oliver, that is super cool. I can't wait to see if all done. I bet it will kick some serious behind once all of the hydraulic lines are in place and all painted up. :coolio:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
