Hacker Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Well guys here is the scoop. l been working on this puppy at in the mornings when l first get up and at night when nothing is on the TV. Now awhile a go when l had to move out of my apartment someone who l trusted stole my digital camera and have not been able to replace it since. So as an experiment l am using the webcam l use when l talk to the girlfriend ( amazing l haven't fried this thing lol) Anyways l took some shots of my Typhoon l been working on just to show you guys what l been doing. The quality is not what l like it to be and maybe with future shot l can improve it but l doubt it. So l apologize for the quality of the pics in advance. Most of the pics are of the scratch build cockpit l been working on with a resin seat and instructment panel. First is just the cockpit frame work as it is now
Hacker Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 The seat l had some styrene flooring left over from a build l did for someone and it was perfect for the back of the seat
Hacker Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 control stick and foot rests. l used the some of the revell flooring for the foot rests and used the control stick
Hacker Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 and finally the last one for the day. Like l said l know the quality of the picture really suck and l will attempt to get better quality pictures in the future if l can. All that aside what do you guys think from what you can see so far?? hacker
Guest LSP_Jay L Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Hi Hacker; It looks really good aside from the fact it is like viewing it through a glass of water! seriously though mate, the Tubular framing looks really well done, and it is a very nice job thus far. you should be very pleased with it. Cheers mate, Jay

Cheers mate, Jay two weeks worth of defining and redefining the thing. At one point l was 9 scale inches too short in one plane and 3 too large in another and had to revamp it so everything looks and sits right. Here is it is in the fuselage in a test fit. Can you see where l am going with this?? Hacker
Dave Pratt Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Hacker,looks good from where I'm sitting.I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your work...cheers
LSP_Matt Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I salute your ingenuity in the face of temporary impoverishment. Clearly you're good mates with McGuyver That is some seriously good scratchbuilding...lovin it cheers Matty
bsarnoffca Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 It looks fantastic. Need to borrow a good camera though so we can see the detail.
Derek B Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Dave, Considering that this is a Revell kit, you have already worked some form of miracle on it...your cockpit frame work compares very well with that of the MDC Typhoon item (however, your structure is necessarily much more extensive). It is always nice to see someone having a good go at this Revell kit. Looks good so far Dave, keep up the very good work, and keep posting those pictures. Cheers Derek
Manu Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Hi Hacker ! Very impressive work ! can't wait to see the next steps of building and painting ! Cheers ! Manu.
