Menelaos Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Gent. I would like to finish that model at last... but THE big Problem are still the seats. The only way to make them looking right inn that big scale is 3D printing.. I Need help. (look above) I'm looking for a company that could master that request. Any suggestions? (Not only in the US but in EU too...??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Folks I achieved a huge breakthrough to complete the TF-104G in 1:18 scale. With the help of Christian Ludwig ( http://www.ludwigs-hobby-seite.de/flohmarkt.html he's a master in the 1:16 and bigger military scale) I produced the GQ7 seats using the 3D print technology. The seats have now the basic details much better than my previous attemps. Harness and other smaller details much be made from scratch but that will be no big deal...

Starfighter Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Pretty cool, but headrest and chute container look a bit strange compared with the real thing. They'll require quite a few modifications if you want to get them closer to reality. Harold and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Yes it's not perfect but far better than my previous attemps....There were 2 versions of the headrest the Italian (on the picture ) and the german (more closer on the 3D seats)well I had to make a compromise. ..I use the CAM seat as a template. ...Some work must be done but this is a huge step forward. ..

Menelaos Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Folks first of all I would like to say a BIG THANKS to Harold (AMS resin) for his help. What I mean by that. Well I talked to Harold over 2 months ago about the difficulty I had to create proper GQ7 seats for the TF-104G in 1:18 scale He replied at once and we arrange to send him my failed 3D seat . He started now rebuild the seat most of it from scratch....well this is a unique worldwide project I think. In onther word, a great guy alert! This is your show Harold!!! here is the progress so far. I send Harold also some buckels I had from racing cars in 1:18 that he will use to make the harness.
