Paint Stencil
I've been thinking about a working miniature paint stencil. A 3D printer is the key to this. However, it needs to be printed very thinly, about 0.2mm. I then applied a spray adhesive to the back so that the paint doesn't bleed through it later.

M197 Cobra Gatling gun
Sharing my deep fascination with helicopter weaponry, especially the Cobra's M197 Gatling Gun. To me, this gun has the greatest potential to come alive as a scale model, primarily due to its rotating barrels. I have designed and built many versions and sizes of this gun for different customers over the years, for 1/6 Len Mount and Alterbaum, 1/7 Vario and 1/9 Roban, static and animated. The...

I have designed and built many versions and sizes of this gun for different customers over the years, for 1/6 Len Mount and Alterbaum, 1/7 Vario and 1/9 Roban, static and animated. The latest version is a fully auto-run, multimedia experience featuring motion, sound and smoke. Here are all the different gun and TSU variations.
Edited: I've just added the final completed version of the gun and TSU.

Hi I’m looking for a couple of scale pilot figures and am not sure how big they should be . Any ideas would be appreciated

Does anyone have a lead on window edging like this? It is not z-channel used for holding in windows, just regular u-shaped rubber edging. Thanks

I had been tossing around the idea of getting pilots for my helis for the longest time. On one hand, I've always felt it wasn't necessary to have a pilot since I'm not looking inside the heli while I'm flying. On the other hand, it's a nice scale touch.
I ended-up purchasing one from Warbird Pilots with a high voltage servo driven dome and have it tied-in with the collective. I removed the...

I ended-up purchasing one from Warbird Pilots with a high voltage servo driven dome and have it tied-in with the collective. I removed the utility harness that came with it since the real Mercy Flight pilots don't use them. The flight suit is the same color the Mercy Flight crew wears, btw. I'm kinda toying with the idea of painting the helmet orange for more accuracy, but I'm not in a big rush to do that, though.

Hello,
Après plusieurs hélicoptères Vario (Bell230, Cobra, Lama, MD500E, Ecureuil) j'ai décidé de tester un modèle Roban.
J'ai choisi le UH-1D série 800.
Malgré que la qualité de soit pas au niveau de Vario on peut en sortir quelque chose de sympa après quelques modifications.

Now the first parts for the AH-1 Cobra in 1:6,2 scale (Baumann). The missile launcher is designed so that the parts can be positively plugged together with a little glue. Some of the parts are also screwed together.
Finished my USCG Bell 206 Helicopter with floats. I love it!!!!
Getting the rescue guy dialed in using the sequencer!
Installation of the gunship weapons are nearly completed. Only the feed belts are left. Scale of this model is 1:5 build at www.heli-factory.com and scale parts printed in laser Sinter technique are from SCALE PRINT www.scale-print.de
