dodgem37 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) This just gets better and better with each post. I'm with Michael and John, those figures are simply remarkable. Kudos to your Bud. In reference to the cable cutter on the landing gear: I thought the point faced forward. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Edited December 3, 2020 by dodgem37 Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkwrench Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Dodgem, Pete's right. It angles back under the premise that the cable will deflect down and under the wheel if not cut first. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capturing expressions and shadows on a tiny figure can be exhausting. But your painstakingly detailing right down to the hand holding the bottle the tilt of the head etc shows you have gotten an eye for such minute details. EXQUISITE figures just like your WONDROUS model. I think your build has to be MY All time favorites.. p. s. Maybe you could write a book on your build. thank you.

allthumbs Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Great work Pete! I'm really enjoying this one. Also, happy to hear that after this, you are beginning again the T-38 project. If I might ask, what inspired you to build a helicopter, given your rich history in fixed wing jet flying? Rich Rockie Yarwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Great question Rich, my wife was the USAF program manager at Sikorsky- and my bestest buddy Timmy!
