norbert Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Here are 3 more pics to show how the fitting will be. :blink: Surface details are huge, but plastic thickness is so thin that there are centimeters gap http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/njak...per-frelon5.jpg something more, on the left side, windows of the inner part are not in front of the outside fuselage :o http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y170/njak...per-frelon4.jpg All things which are better to know before, because if you follow the notice, you have to built the two fuselage halves separately and then try to get all glued together More to come later Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

norbert Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hello Frederick I just printed black holes, made from a pic of the interior cover Interior cover in following link Super-frelon in FFSMC web page here is the print prints are cut in pieces according to inside fabric panels, and panel sides are drawn, then glued with white glue (thick) and before it totaly dries, paper is pushed down at the angles and sides to give the 3D impression. At the end, I just aded carefuly some pastel. Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

norbert Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Fantastic work, how did you do the floor ? It looks real Well, it is a variant of Pierre Greuters foil work First, all floor panel are placed in aluminium foil then with a rond tip, the surface of the aluminium foil was hollowed, then it was painted with the floor colour then it was covered wir Klir (future) this gives a very solide surface then I take a grid 600 sandpaper and roughend all the surface untill it is matt then I grid more with the same sandpaper until the top surface of aluminium foil bekomme visible in the walking areas and in front off the doors. I'm happy you enjoyed it Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

norbert Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hello, I continue to update the interior pics this time the sidewalls with seats and seatbelts ;) :D and also some bags Left cargo side seat and belts are made with printed paper, but seatframes are original box pieces. yes, kit is a great base right side this time I hope there are not too much picture Its time to get all cargo area closed Maybe I become slowly an chopper fan with this kit, but let's see, I think that closing the fuselage will not be easy Hope you enjoy Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary West Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Covers are printed paper glued with white glue Norbert - can I ask you about this method please which looks very effective. One day I intend to attempt to bring Hellers Puma up to date and have given the interior sound proofing some thought. This could be the way. When you say printed paper, could you expand some more please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kostas T Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Very nice and neat work so far. I like the idea for the soundproofing Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
