Small Scale Military Headquarters

OK Guys ,

This is it . I have 29 sets sold and one more to hit 30 .

So the count down starts today and will run till next Monday.

The presale is at $300 and $700 for a full build now , plus shipping .

After next Monday the Price will be $400 and full builds will be $800 .

$100 locks you into a kit $200 locks you into a full build at the presale price.

The count down starts now.

Well I fixed the intake issue . I just need to tweak the crease between the nacels right at the rings and it is fixed .



I also cut down the filters. Jay copied the filter just as Trumpeter had it.
They made it more like a light bulb.
It needed to be more like a mushroom.
Cut down version is on the left.


This is my old vacuum plate.
The vent allowed too much air and was about 6x6 usable and was heated by a waffle maker .




Here is my new and improved vacuum machine.
Powered by a pizza baker .
After 3-4 mins worth of warm up it will heat the plastic in 1-1/2 mins !!!!!!!!



I also got some new vacuum plastic and it works great !!
I fabbed the wiper blades and front probe.
CAREFUL.... YOU CAN POKE YOUR EYE OUT.





I am not 100% certain but I am dangerously close for the final mockup.
I need to look things over tomorrow and if everything checks out I will be posting final staging pics .
Then it is time to break her down and the mold making process will begin.

!!!! WARNING !!!

MONDAY IS APPROACHING QUICKLY GUYS.

Wow Matthew....this is truly a piece of art. Very nice rework on the intakes, as I've said your all about the details.
Well done my friend!!

38 kits !!!

13 full builds !!!

I am so close to finishing the prototype but every time I think I got it, there is another detail that needs tending to .

I do not want to put ANYTHING out there that is half ass.

And you guys forking out the money expect to get what you are paying for.

This just may be my best release to date !!!

But my Sdkfz 222 is still my favorite .

All right guys after about 2 years and 6 months . I think that I have the prototype done .

Except the rear fuselage .... I dropped it and one of the antennas popped off and flew into oblivion and the rear rotor broke.

After I make this piece AGAIN and repair the rotor I will make final pics and then it is molding time.

Comrade music if you please
