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?

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. Sign me up

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.

awesome work! it looks just like i remember it: clearing the APU and engines to start, calling the droop stops, pulling the chaff pin, unlocking the ESSS ejector racks, then reeling in your ICS cord before climbing in... aaahh, nostalgia!

Don't forget pulling the chocks and the HIT check!

I can't wait to get some!

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!

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

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!

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 ?

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
