brahman104 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I could stare at those pictures for hours and not even half of the details you've created there. What really impresses me is that you've been able to keep it functional (flyable) without any visible concession to detail. Are the dynamic (rotor head, tail rotor etc) components built from scratch too? Can't wait to see more! Craig chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easixpedro Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Whoa… gobsmacked. That is epic. I keep toying with the thought of making a Seaking or Seasprite, but keep putting it off as nothing exists…you did it and it’s flyable?! Well done, so many details for the eyes to absorb! -Peter nairolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airscale Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 What the actual f#ck that is modelling porn of the absolutely highest order - you are a very gifted modeller indeed and technically brilliant I can't believe you would actually commit this masterpiece to flight - I could never live with the loss if something happened so could never even try just unreal talent - thank you Peter Buster99, nairolf and KiwiZac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post pictures of the work of the parts already painted later and you will tell me.. I very much look forward to seeing them, and your translations are fine.

nairolf Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Hi Thank you all for your comments which I really appreciate. I am interested for years the work that I see on the plastic models of which there are many magnificent pieces on this forum even if I have not yet taken a lot of time to see them all. which can leave considerable space for personal construction and I am particularly admiring of the magnificent painting work that we can see, with all the aging techniques that very interested me. I also made some plastic models a few years before and I hope to be able to come back to them one day... here is an imgur link where you can see some working techniques about the manufacture of broom handles and rudder command and rubber protection texts are in French sorry. https://imgur.com/a/xiknL KiwiZac, Greg W and Landrotten Highlander 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig hi Craig the mechanical part is an existing base which has been modified a lot, the problem of the main and tail rotor and to find a good compromise which once painted and decorated will be at the same time flyable and close to reality, there is a model which corresponds quite well for the moment but im not a hurry , I will not embark on this adventure trying doing myself while pros have the machines and the experience, quality of hard steels difficult to machine and also inability to completely scale this kind of parts for resistance problems of the materials, another story of compromise......

I totally understand! I can't even begin to imagine the complexities of making and balancing your own custom rotor heads! What you have here looks very much to scale, especially considering once it's flying you won't be able to tell anyway! Cracking stuff, I can't wait to see more!
