adrake83 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I can't wait. Finally, some high quality figures for us rotorheads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wow! Can't wait to seem more. As someone who knows nothing about this technology, I have to ask - how long did it take you to input all the data / program your printer to make that helmet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyGlueSniffer Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I need those helmets! I will do unspeakable things for them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewPerren Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 That is totally cool Norbert. Assume the helmet is 1/35 ? Will you be able to get it down to 1/48 without too much loss of detail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Love it. Love the helmet. I want some of those. The figures are awesome too. The FLIR was used in the MH-47G conversion, as well as, the Cobra Company MH-60M. You are doing great stuff. I'm excited for you and can't wait to see what you come up with.

andy evans Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Great work, I'm definitely interested in buying some of these too ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi many thanks for your support Test 7, wich is a step back from previous tests, but I added a fire-watch figure. We were told to simplifie the figure meshes, but we think we lose sharpness and the layers shows more out. And we had for the first time a cleaning issue... And some other enhancements to do, just a first test-shot please be patient. it's 1/35, test 8 is running with a 1/48 figure at that time Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hooknladderno1 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Norbert, I have been away from the forum and just saw this thread. I am speechless! AMAZING! The realism and level of detail is just incredible! I am sure to join the long line of people wanting some of these! Fine craftsmanship! David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thank you David, thank you Tim, Thank you Gino, Thank you Richard test #8 : it's 1/48 this time Was a try in one piece by curriousity, but it will be better done in several pieces I think small reduction in 1/48 : a small reinforcement and I will keep the tiny microphone Well, this week-end is a scan week-end : I leave in a couple of hours. test#9 will be only next week...

Newf36 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Norbert: Love that they will be available in 1/35 and 1/48 as well. I have a Uh-1n in 1:35 and a Super Stallion in 1/48 that I would like to man in the stash already. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hi This time in braille scale, and I do not have a model to place behind... veteran day, 1/72, on a 1 cent coin ! now the question is : will I have to unify the figure dimensions, or is it better to keep the real scale ?

hawkwrench Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Norbert, have you thought about making a cockpit detail set for the UH/MH/SH-60 hawks with you're new 3d printer? That instrument panel looks really nice! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The figures look great. I can't wait to see them in 1/35. Bring them on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm very happy that you think also for us poor 1/72 b@#*ard! From a professional figure painter I'm very impatient to buy and paint some of your creation! Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 How about a 1/16 scale figure of the hawk crew chief? Heck, let's go big. How about a 1/6 scale figure?- that would be an awesome figure to paint! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Norbert, have you thought about making a cockpit detail set for the UH/MH/SH-60 hawks with you're new 3d printer? That instrument panel looks really nice! Tim Hi Tim Yes, I thought about that, but there are Chris and Floyd who already offers such kind of goodies. However, I can print their masters for them if they are interested Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 The figures look great. I can't wait to see them in 1/35. Bring them on. received the foldable clear boxes, have o find out best packing method... Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
