Arghhh... It did look a bit fishy, yes. I did my best to walk the line.. Hmm. Darn. Well, never again then. I didn't find this one anywhere else, though.
Any problems with me keeping on posting pics and stuff? |

Moshe has the Dr Zarkov ( I always liked that name ) model in his shop;

Yeah I just figured that out and bought it from there now. Was only 8 euros or so. Now I have to wait for the info for the download.
*stupid me* |

... Got it! Hurray! So luckily there will be a full legal follow up. There was an additional downloadable file with 113 quite lo-res pictures of the build stages and details but I don't think I will need them. The instructions are clear enough.
I will continue soon but not today and I don't think that it will be tomorrow, either. |

Well, I'm glad I now legally can show you all the continuing of this build. I really had no idea that it was a pirated copy I had. Sorry Moshe and designer Dr. Emil Zharkov. (btw, what a great name for a character in a retro SF movie!) Well, enough about that.
There has been some small progress. I closed up the cabin and placed its pilots in the cockpit. the copilot is leaning a bit out of the window to get a better look of what is going on down on the waves. I derived from the original build instructions with the placement of a brass tube with a paper reinforcement for glueing around inside the rotor hole. So, the rotors might be able to.. well, rotate. In the passenger bay the load master is kneeling in the opened doorway, one arm stretched out for holding on to the winch cable with the horse collar on it, he's looking down to watch the capsule and Gus in the water. Gus yet has to be made. I already made the tail boom section but I have to add the landing gear wheel well and the tail itself. |

Yeah, that looks cool!
I love the way the crouching figure in the doorway came out, very realistic pose...you've got a wonderful skill in making miniatures, and it is all coming together very nicely in this project. Cheers! Jim |

PK,
Are you serious? Good Lord, that is remarkable! Just when I think you can't POSSIBLY top yourself, you do it again! You'd think I'd have learned by now... Outstanding work! It's fun to watch. Mike |

Thanks! It actually is quite easy. Anyone can roll solid rolls of paper strip. it's just how you join them together. The dab of paint afterwards does the rest.
Since I shoot my original photos at about 3200px, I can show you a close up of the copilot. (wanted to do that in the first place but I forgot). Each square is 10x10 millimeter. |
