Default Re: Wood is Good! - Even for helis...

Please tell me if you find suitable action figures, I've been searching around myself trying to find something but to no avail! I like the idea of the mini servo mounted. I am gonna have a servo on the chin gun and was thinking of tieing that servo into the TSU somehow, I would have to hollow out the underside of the nose to allow for some wort of mechanism.

Uh, I don't know yet. Haven't seen the mailman or whatever that thing is that delivers our mail with a package of small electronic goodies.

To connect up your gizmos , use flexible control cable , the micro stuff. I might swing my FLiR and beacon with the servo.

It would be nice digging it into wood rather glassing it up though...

There is a great audio system for scale helis also...gotta find it...turbine sound, guns , the works. 80w , I think.

The main part of the TSU is finished. I just hit it with some primer, when its dry I'll fill in whatever imperfections are left and blast it again with paint. Then its on to the optics and final detail parts.

What a difference a lick of paint makes. This is the second primer pass, there was some minor filling that needed to be done after the first pass. There are still some small imperfections that need to be addressed and then the third pass should be perfect. For some reason it always takes three passes when doing filling work like this!
