2-3 months hopefully . it will take my hand about a month and a half to heal . but I want to keep the parts being made during this time.YT wrote:I know it is hard to be exact, but do you have a rough timeline to completion?

I just sent in the full pre-payment, I think that is a great deal and I look forward to another great kit from you. If anybody else is on the fence, I had no reservations because Pickle has always delivered!

I've also just made the full pre-payment - $300 for a 1/18 scale Mi-24 is a steal! I've got Matthew's Ho 229 kit, and that's a wonderful piece of work; I have absolutely no doubt the Mi-24 will be fantastic.

I am accepting pre-payments at $300 now. Plus shipping when the time arrives.
For those who are willing to pay in advance this will be THEIR PRICE .
Estimated production price is $350-$450 .

these guys have kept the project afloat !!!!!!!!!!!
I have mentioned this to some of the supporters but I will tell all , that what I have had made so far and not posted are the mushrooms filters for the 2 large intakes , their intake rings and the pointy style rocket pods. I was getting close to getting close on mine but it took less time to plot and print perfect ones via 3-d printer so I had Jay to make it for me.
we are waiting to get the next LARGE piece to be printed . it is the full turtle deck from the intakes back to the round sensor. Which has been made already as well.

I was able to hold the camera to take pics but clicking the shutter button was not easy to do but I did it here are pics of the recent 3-d print outs .

I got the tires in and it looks like the main tires will work just fine with the r/c wheels . The front nose will may not work. The profile is square and I can not find any 1 inch tires with tread. I will keep looking.
The hubcaps are not scale like this will be an easy fix.
If I can not find any suitable 1 inch wheels for the nose gear I may have to make them out of resin.
Any thoughts on this ?
Main wheels I have 2 styles to choose from

I think that the rubber tires wheels are much better than foam. OK, there is a disturbing point, the relief printed size, but it can be put on the Inside of the helo.

Re: 1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Be a Reality ! !!
Hey Guys,
I finally got the turtle deck in and it looks great. Jay did an excellent job of copying it !!!
But I am a little unhappy with the finish that Shapeways did on it .
For the money I paid I was expecting it to be a lot smoother .
I tried to sand on it ( with the break I was not really able to apply any pressure ) but after primer paint the stryations were very heavy .
So I think that it may just be easier for me to make the rest of the body from scratch when my hand is ready .
I will have Jay make the rotor hubs and maybe the landing gear . Maybe .
I really will have to do a lot of sanding to make the turtle deck right . But Jay got everything right and by making the piece he probably saved me about 3-4 days worth of work despite the additional sanding I will have to do.
Pics to fallow.

I believe that is the 3D printing service pickel uses for some of the more complex items.

Yes that is exactly right.
With my injury and everything going on in life right now Shapeways .
I just got in the rotor hubs and they are fantastic !!!
Of all the parts I have had printed that I was a little disappointed on where the main turtle deck. Jay did a fantastic job on plotting it out but I paid for a premium and the stryations were a bit heavy.
Again nothing of Jay's doing just the way it came out printed .
Nothing that a bit of sanding wont fix .
