The "joystick" is a bit like a plane, so I've build them new heads, remember to cut them because they are too high (see the red arrow)

Thanks to "Robertas Vasiliauskas" and "Austin K" for this detail, I didnâ€™t notice that the kit blades were the army version, and had to cut them to the Navy style

dilemma: As I am a large paws I bet I'll break the antennas if I glue them before painting. On the other hand if glue them after I'll get some CA glue spots and paint less homogeneous

So me and my friend with the helmet build some rigs in Lego and now only touch the model as little as possible, let's see ... First a thin layer of color base and then the shading of the panels
52
March 28, 2013
It may not be very clear but in the Seahawks the gray underneath is lighter than the rest (some instructions do not show this and others show a 3rd darker gray on top)

Here is how I have led and glue the wire point-by-point (and itâ€™s 6 points in this one ) A clamp to make weight and â€œLegoâ€ to give the right height and guide the wire to the right spot to glue, then put a bit of CA, wait and go for the

I was going around and around trying to make the very small covers of the air intakes until I came up with this simple idea: Paint sculpt paste and when itâ€™s dry, but not totally hard, just mold it in place

ole moller
are you a micro surgeon?some outstanding work in 1/72 i would never try to attempt it at that size

28 January 2013, 22:08

Vitor Hugo Sousa
1/72, what else?😉

28 January 2013, 23:17

ole moller
you are truly a mad man,do you always work in 1/72?or do you go wild with 1/48?lol

29 January 2013, 11:16

ole moller
well what else can i say,using needles for barrels at this size is genius,and the blade repair is awesome,though i tend to use pins snapped to size,i`m doing a biggish job on a 1/24 plane and i struggle with this size and you seem to relish in it,fantastic

Hi Vitor,
pilots seats is in bad position (need push to forward), also yuo need cut rotor blades tips. Model contains army style blades.

29 January 2013, 14:45

Vorya hidaryan
wow.top job Vitor.👍

29 January 2013, 15:21

Vitor Hugo Sousa
Thanks for your comments guys.
*ole moller: 1/72 is my scale, maybe one day i'll try a rotor on 1/48 (if I can finish it)
* Robertas: Thanks for your sharp seeing, in fact the seats are to far back, as I'll open one door i thought I could put them a bit back as they are on rails, but seeing again real photos now I see they are a bit far.
Now what do you mean with "cut rotor blades tips"?
I've been comparing with photos and didn't understand it

Bom dia. Muito bom mesmo. Onde arranja o Alclad e Mr. Surfacer em Lisboa?

28 March 2013, 10:20

Vitor Hugo Sousa
Os que comprei foram on-line em lojas de Lisboa, ou na zmodels.pt ou na vlmodels.com.
Mas creio que a casa Antunes no CC do Martim Moniz também terá, é ligar para lá. Aqui fica uma listagem dos contactos das lojas físicas em Portugal forum.modelismo-na.n..t=14542&start=90
