zaktwist Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 looks amazing! What did u use on the console screens? will be following with interest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looking really good. The roof looks nice. One thing on it though, the forward rod across the ceiling is for the seat supports and should be much smaller than what you have. The rear pole assembly is the FRIES (Fast Rope Insertion and Extraction System) and looks pretty good. Here is a pic to see what I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes you are right, the rod is to big in diameter, i will change it, The screens is a secret they are made of sequins from my daughter dress, please dont tell here, she will kill me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 i will try to make this one look acceptable So far, so good, I reckon. I can't see how you can do much better. Even the detail in the little wells under each pilot's seat is amazing. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Newf36 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Jorge: I'm watching with great interest and will be starting a DAP in the not to distant future (doing some research right now). GREAT JOB SO FAR! Your use of sequins for MFD screens is something that I have not seen done before. It's great to see people think "outside the box" when looking for a new material or technique in our never ending quest for realism and authenticity. Keep up the good work, and thank you for taking the time to chronicle your work for all to enjoy and admire! Best Regards, Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
