hooknladderno1 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Neo Nice work so far. I like your technique for painiting the belts/buckles. Is all of the buckle detail molded in on the seats? I have an ADAC version of the 145, but didn't notice that much detail. I am at work at the moment, so I can't check. Look forward to following your progress.

Helo 53 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Awesome work on the cockpit console , Neo ; I also like the red buttons on the cyclic control sticks and I agree with the other guy's about the cockpit seats , the seatbelts look really good . John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys The kit is all OBB But its so much easier to paint the belts first the paint the seat Will be posting again soon Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neo Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hi guy's (and girls if any are around :unsure: ) thanks for all the comments Here is an update from you Euro Copter 1/48th building plant !! I found some headsets on the sprue and decided to use them.. So after 7 tries(and allot more swearing :unsure: ) to glue the headsets to the coper wire here is the result..... after closing up the thing i realize that we barely see them and my GF say's all the swearing wasn't worth it... BUT i took a new year resolution that states: "on every model i build I MUST try at least 1 new technique" I had to trip that door alot to make it go in there but at least there are no gaps Cheers NEo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLMES Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 NEO, Thta is going to be one superb build.. Afew days ago I saw the Eurocopter 135 and it was gorgeous..so Loking at this one I can imgaine it will look great when you have finsihed it, AND I like what you have doen so far. Very neat tidy work.. Kepe it going. I will be back to see more. Woo hoo HOLMES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Thank for all the kind word Holmes Progress has been slow work as taken most of my time I had a little problem with Future on the white surface it Yellowed on some areas and after reading alot it is a known issue of future. Unfortunatly all the decals where on so i patiently rub the Future off with a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol. When i get more time its going to get 2 to 3 coats of Humbrol Clear gloss enamel to finish it off I hit the blades with a satin coat but i find them too glossy so ill probable go for a flat coat over it here is a pic of the current progress Cheers Neo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
