Would like to see some pictures, please. I've been looking at printing some architectural and topography items. I think all of those would be good exercises in design-to-print. Best, LB

LB here are some

Thanks Steve and LB! Hmm.. maybe something to consider with some left over tinted plastic.

I got to lookin' even on Thingiverse and have little success. Found a couple examples, though these are full size and when I scaled to 25% as a test, there is just not enough left to print. I will probably try to design something, but it may be that 'the old fashioned way' might be the best. I'll post anything that looks plausible. Best, LB

I have been printing and modeling parts for my OH-58D Kiowa project. Finished printing the Mast Mounted Sight, and painting up the printed pilot figures.

F106DD,Great Work, Sir. You gotta design AO Sunglasses for your helo crew, I know it's not a priority but it would be Sierra Hotel. Best, LB

Are you hand sanding or using a power sander?

All by hand.

[Gilatrout]

[Dirty Dee]

Some more lightweight filler, a final coat of primer, then some more sanding and pinhole filling

Yes, its quite large!

Ken, The 2 'green' parts: 1) larger 90 degree part goes above the seat and below the "headrest" with the 90 up and facing forward, 2) the 'channel' part is the back of the parachute box and mounts between the seat rails in those channels against the inside top of the headrest and is the last part I glue in place. The angle for the Headrest can be adjusted some, but fit tight it is mostly correct. I angled mine a bit tipped forward as I liked the look. Hope this helps. Best, LB

Oh, ok, that helps, thanks a bunch

[Elbee]

Radar-Guy, Absolutely Fabulous, Sir. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours.. Best, LB
