Eastern Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Check out the DVD I sent you under the Warrior Walk Around Book Photos under the Tailboom-Tailrotor. Those photos are about as close as you can get. Floyd Hi Floyd, DVD?? You really sent me DVD? You sent me your great KW in action, no DVD. Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eastern Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hi Ray, My HUGE thank you for those nice images you've posted. They are a big help. But on top of them I would like to have a lateral view of the cone being shot so that the lense would be alined with the rear rotor axis. Yet a few images of the gear shot from the SB, especially where cables run to the fin, would be welcome. ;) Cheers! Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eastern Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi guys, I think it's time to show you something "fresh" I accomplished up the moment. :) I managed to improve some main rotor head parts. Fist one was the lead-lag dampener. I mastered one so that to be resin cast then. The in-kit ones suppose to be replaced with the resin ones. Here some pics of the thingy: Then I put my hands on the (heck, I dunno how to call it properly)"fork" to hold the rotor blades. I managed to make the blades to be foldable. This is how it turned out: Well, I hope you like the images. ;) Next step is mastering the tail rotor gear. Cheers and happy modeling! Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Very nice!! These look great and the blade fold is awesome. I hope all your parts will be cast into a few great update sets. Great work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
