There was only one question in this entire thread and I answered it. Have no idea what you are talking about.

The seventh week of the Huskie started off by correcting the warped rotor blades. The process I used was very simple. I used a thick 10" long steel ruler. I used some nylon zip ties to hold the rotor blade down and straight. The next step was to take a 2-cup measuring cup filled with water and...

The sixth week of the Huskie I finish up on the exhaust. It was painted with Vallejo Metal Jet Exhaust and Duraluminum then using grey and rust pastel chalk I weathered it to match the numerous reference photos. The landing gear was then painted and installed. The landing gear rear struts...

The fifth week of the Huskie Helicopter I started off by doing some cleanup on the fuselage and adding some of the minor details. The kit does not include the overhead console in the cockpit so using some styrene, photo etch, and cloth tape I scratch built the console assembly. For the knobs and...

The fourth week of the H-43B Huskie I was able to finish detailing the interior in the crew area and assemble the fuselage halves. The seats were installed onto scratch built frames and then the seat belts were installed. Moving over to the starboard side I added the supports and shelves...

The third week of the Huskie I worked on detailing the aft section of the interior. First I panted the interior of the rear doors. The lower section is red and the upper section is the interior grey. Then using styrene square rods I framed the rear edge and drilled out the holes. The port side...

The second week of the H-43B Huskie was spent starting the super detailing of the interior. After finishing the cockpit area and installing the screens on the fuselage I installed the kit interior. I then started detailing the crew area by using sheet styrene for the supports on the port side. I...

**************This was listed as 1/48 - Turns out the model is actually a 1/32 scale. Testors mis-printed their box as 1/48!******************** This build is using an old kit made by Testors. Testors was known for doing some of the unique subjects over the years. This is their 1/32 scale H-43B...

The fifth week of the 1/25 scale 1922 Model T Touring I finished the project! To start with I mounted the car to the display base by running a wire thru the tires and into holes I drilled in the base. I then used some epoxy to secure the wires into the base. I purchased a small photo frame for...

The fourth week of the Model T Touring I started assembling the car. The steering wheel and pedals were installed. I then installed the windshield assembly and the top. One of the details in the reference photos was an old style horn mounted on the driver side door edge. I scratch built this...

The third week of the Model T Touring I installed the body to the chassis. This took some time to get it to sit correctly on the chassis. The fenders are separate pieces so getting them to sit on the chassis and lined up took some time. The interior was painted and front seat was installed. I...

The second week of the T Touring car was spent working on the changes to the body. The differences were the section in front of the windshield and the rear doors. After roughing in the front section I laid in some putty and then wet sanded it into shape. For the rear doors the shape of the doors...

For the next commission build I will be replicating a 1922 Ford Model T Touring for a close friend whose father recently passed away. The car was his pride and joy as he spent many years restoring it. The problem is there are no 1922 Model T Touring kits available. So after doing some research I...

The ninth week of the American LaFrance I was able to finish off the final assembly and details which completed the model! The client wanted to change the color of the fire helmet from silver to white so it was cleaned up and re-painted white. This was then mounted on the passenger side dash...

The eighth week of the Eagle I continued with assembling and detailing the interior and the cab. Before I go thru the work done on the interior and cab I need to do a look back at the front bumper. The item on the driver side that I noted as a large light is not a light. This is a Federal Q...

The seventh week of the Eagle the rear section is now finished and mounted to the frame. I had to correct the license plate. The sample I used was for truck 122 and this is truck 121. I then installed the sides and the ladder rack with ladders. I used a resin cover from Three Inches Under. The...

The sixth week of the Eagle I finally finished the hoses! I do need to mention one correction. The hoses on the right side needed to have the routing corrected. The second to the end hooks up the truck and then goes to the third from the right. I also added the "dog ears" to the small hoses...

Here we are at the fifth week of the Eagle and I am still working on the hoses. The client sent me a drawing of a little better detail on what and how the hoses in the hose bed are stored. Using this and the reference photo I had to add some more details. Four of the smaller hoses have nozzles...

The fourth week of the Eagle was spent making fire hoses. There are not a lot of photos this week as it is taking a little more time making the fire hoses than I originally thought. This is due to the numerous hoses and their length. The bed has small and two sizes of medium hoses. Some of the...
