Night Owl Models Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Good evening or good morning, getting closer to completing the cabin shell. I printed all the wiring bundles out a flexible resin so I don't have to rely on metal wire. CAD of wiring bundles. Flexible resin Time to bring the two prints together, I did two because the cabin was just too tall for the 3D printer so I cut it at the main door seemed like a good place. So the only glue that works with 3D UV polymer resin is CA I like to use BOB Smith Industries. I did a little extra on the seam ill sand it out later. It took a few weeks and referencing all those fantastic interior photos I was sent. Here are a few interior shots all details in place before I start the painting process. Ill paint the upper cabin shell NATO Black then post shade with the interior light gray. Ill have to spend allot of time with a light to medium gray wash to pick up all the rivet details. After this part is done Ill start of the cabin floor, AESOP station, Sonobuoy launcher and cockpit allot yet to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Night Owl Models Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 (edited) A question for all the rotor heads out there seems to be some fuzzy information on the exterior FS code for the Canadian CH-12. As best I can see from Belcher Bits and a few posts FS 26173 is the code I prefer Vallejo paints however it looks like Ammo MIG #205 is the only match for that FS code. If anyone has some more definitive information it would help. This is a recent photo from that decommission Seaking looks like a few colors going on here...but what are they? Under the Canada and flag is one color then forward of that is a different color. Tail section is for sure a different color ???

cruiz Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Your work is stunning. You captured the complexity of all that plumbing. I'm looking forward to the paint job, which will make all that detail pop. Which flexible resin did you use? I think it could be suitable for ammo belts. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Night Owl Models Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) I took some time away from painting out the cabin shell to work on the AESOP station. I took physical measurements off of the platform to use in the CAD work. I have allot of great photos so here we go. Real thing Here is the cad work I started with the frame of the AESOP station. So I had to cut the model into sections as I add detail the file becomes to data heavy, I need a gaming computer for sure. Bottom section Top section in progressive detail. Building switch panels I have most of these saved to import into different projects like this. Switch panel built and positioned More panels built, I use this simple textured object view to speed up rendering. Just for fun I did a quick full render adding color and texture when I 3D print this think ill use this and the photos as a guide. Mid base render color no texture Full render with texture. As you can see allot more panels to make yet but its been a fun challenge...cant buy this off the internet. Edited April 11 by Night Owl Models spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
