Pete Fleischmann Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) The Stokes litter was a bit of a process. My first attempt involved soldering together a frame over a pattern from Shapeways- it looked great, but was too narrow to fit my wounded figure So I found a 3D printed frame on Shapeways, but it was the wrong scale. Lucky for me the designer was willing to change the CAD file to 1/35th and Shapeways printed it for me. The mesh is bridal veil fabric; stretched tight over a picture frame and sprayed black, then cut to shape. This figure is also a Frankenstein- made up of various Live Resin body parts...boots yet to be painted in this picture- Edited May 21, 2019 by Pete Fleischmann LSP_Kevin, A-10LOADER and Gazzas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) The wounded Afghan was also a “Franken-figure” The belly wound in all likelihood should be a lot messier- but I wanted to suggest a wound; not go overboard with the gore. The blood is simply Tamiya clear red, thinned to a wash consistency. The blood soaked into the clothing was a wash of Tamiya clear red mixed with some clear blue to create a purple, darker color. cheers Pete Edited May 21, 2019 by Pete Fleischmann Durangokid, Gazzas, LSP_Kevin and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are combat medics that ride in the rescue bird- You’ll see these black and white Velcro patches for PJ, JTAC, CRO, etc. It’s a quick way for them to be identified as to their specialty/function. cheers Pete Edited May 22, 2019 by Pete Fleischmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Pressing on with assembly- The pilots right hand is holding the cyclic, and will be painted off the figure and left detached until I can mate the grip to the stick. The other pilot requires a new right hand, as the only options Live Resin provides for hands are holding the controls. Because Both pilots on the controls at the same time however, is a no-no. finishing these guys without the kit in hand is a leap of faith- hopefully they’ll fit into the kit seats without too much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Out2gtcha Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Love it! The paint work was really worth the effort Although I cant decide if these two gents are doing anything family-unfriendly or not!

Durangokid Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The pilots are looking great! I'm still hoping to see the helo build too as I have a feeling you are going to raise the bar with this one. It's nice to see your work on the forum again buddy... Bryan Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
