Rolling Treasures
Happy to be a part of this important mission.

Rui S
Welcome to scalemates🙂

Rolling Treasures
Thank you 🙂

Nicolas
As soon as I finish one of my 3 current projects (2 of them ar nearly done) I will start with this little helicopter.

Nicolas
The build startet this weekend.

Nicolas
As I am covid positive (fortunately only with very mild syntomas) I had some time to build again today. So far I am positively surprised by the accuracy of fit. There are no locator pins, but I can now click the fuselage and cockpit together and even the tail section holds without glue.

Nicolas
I would like to do some rivets on the exteriour, but I couldn't find some good drawings. If somebody has a hint I would be grateful.

Nicolas
Today I started installing the controls. Doing so I noticed, the collectiv controls are missinh in the kit. So I started scratchbuilding them after photos. Also fabricated and installed blinds for the paxes.

Nicolas
Started some work on the exteriour.

Freak
Interesting project! Love the WIP pics and demo of various detailing techniques.

Nicolas
Hi Freak, welcome on board.

Shar Dipree
I have the same kit too. I'm really looking forward to your results. Following. 🙂

Nicolas
Hi Shar, welcome.

Łukasz Gliński
Cool, will watch. Still afraid to start mine 😄

Nicolas
Welcome Łukasz, there is no reason to be afraid. The fit seams quite good, and the missing details is somthin one can improve. 😉

Sergej I

Romain Sablou
Picture 8 : I screw up riveting on the second wing. 😅 I was thinking that doubling the number of rivet lines was a good idea on this part of the wing, turned out it wasn't...
I used Tamiya Surfacer to cover everything and start again

Alberto
Very promising start, I'm in!

Fabien
Wow impressionnant. super beau boulot

Alec K
Thanks for the explanation. I thought maybe you were implementing some hight end stressed skin technique 🙂. Amazing work all around 👍

Great work so far, following

Gary Victory
A real pain doing the riveting but so satisfying once it's done. Lovely work Romain.

Romain Sablou
Thank you all for your interest ! This is my first attempt on riveting an all airplane, I wouldn't say it was painful, but rather a looong and sometime tiring job. Overall I really enjoyed the experience and the satisfation when highlighting the rivets with a black wash 👌

Jakub Fiala
Very nice work, so far. Riveting looks perfect 👍 I´ve just ordered a new release of Edugawa F/G Marauder, so i will look for some inspiration here.

Romain Sablou
Thanks ! Yes, this new release of the F/G version is great news for all Marauder fan 👌

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic riveting job and also the wash 👍

Wow! Great start👍🏻

bughunter
What a combination: a great new kit, nice accessories and finally a master modeller at the tools - EPIC !

Bernhard Schrock
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 Thanks!

JAM-SCREW
Lovely extra details and mods! very tidy Bernhard.

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you JAM-SCREW.
Btw: just I saw you actual portfolio of sets for the Seaking! SCM Brand: JAM-SCREW
Absolutely remarkable!! I'm looking forward especially for the landing gear and main rotor hub. 🙂

Qwertzel
Gute Arbeit! Nehme Platz.

Mid Franconian
I take a seat as well!

Hanno Kleinecke
Just look at that winchframe !!! There is absolutely no doubt that after plugging these plugs the winch will be working. As with all your builds, for the watchers the path is the destination.
Wonderful wip pics - keep'em coming…… 🙂 👍

JAM-SCREW
Rapid progress sir! Very impressive attention to even very fine details for accuracy. Thank you for the updates and images.

Guy Rump
Following with interest. 👍

Spanjaard
that winch is jaw dropping... amazing.

gorby
WOW! Remarkable work so far.

Michael Kohl
What the hell is Ureol?

Bernhard Schrock
Michael ureol is A kind of foamed plastic. It comes in different degrees of foaming. The more foamed, the softer and lighter.

Robert
Hallo sieht genial aus.
wo bekommt man sowas ? habe auch schon versucht sowas zu finden.

Michael Kohl
Ah, that explaines as well the nice texture the cushions have. Thanks for the info.
And - by the way - as always a pleasure to follow your delicate modelling.

Bernhard Schrock
Your are welcome.
Robert: vor paar Jahren habe ich von einem Modellbaubekannten Reste zum probieren gekriegt. Daher musste ich erst mal schauen, wo man das kriegt: eBay hier und da so wie bei Modulor in Berlin.

Gordon Sørensen
Great looking detail you are adding, Berhard! Those seat cushions are fantastic.

Florian H.
Vergiss nicht, einen Kasten Bier bereitzustellen, wenn du die bordtoilette nutzt 😉

Lode Schildermans
Absolute masterclass in progress, Bernhard

bughunter
Eine Detailorgie allererster Kajüte 👍

Spanjaard
a bit more additions, and you can forget about buying kits 😉

Bernhard Schrock
Thanks for comments and praise.I would like to share the praise with the excellent photographers (TN and BD). Ä Only such photos as from TN and BD make it possible.🙂

David Taylor
Wow.

bughunter
It was probably difficult to wire all the little rotary switches on the back. I assume that they all work!

Dan Parsons
Just absolutely fantastic Bernhard, I dont think everyone will appreciate just how difficult all those details you have added are to do. you have achieved what I only dreamed of achieving. I am lost for words with these details. Stunningly beautiful work.

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you David, bughunter and Dan for you very motivating comments🙂. The Seaking is meanwhile my favorite helicopter. It was great to see one of them flying over the beach in Boltenhagen: we went on vacation there last year.🙂🙂

Bruce Huxtable
I am impressed not only by your skills, Bernard, but also that you are not over-whelmed by the many, many fine details that you are taking on. RESPECT 🙂

Alec K
I agree with Bruce. Inspiring progress 👍

Augie
Awesome work!

Bruce Huxtable
Goodness, Bernhard, another micro-kit! Immaculate, inspiring!

Augie
I'm just in awe, master work here.

Hanno Kleinecke
Last monday I had the chance to take a very close look on all these masterpiece subassemblies in person - an all new level of depth in detail, even by Bernhard's standards !
These oxygen bottles look as if they were very closely related to 500 pound bombs….. ? 🙂

Bernhard Schrock
I'm happy that you like my bottles... 🙂. In fact, I have often used bombs as a basis for various parts. 🙂 This time, however, it is a sprue with a diameter of 4 mm.

Dietmar Bogatzki
Awesome work, Bernhard 👍

ScaleFella NAFO
Tuned in! amazing details

Michael Kohl
Some very fine modelling going on here.

Spanjaard
very best kind of modelling 😉

gorby
The level of detail is mad. amongst the best scratch-building I have ever seen on Scalemates.

Mark Snel
Amazing!

Alec K
Excellent progress. I like how in Germany, when helicopter model parts get mailed, one just has to write "Bernhard" on the box and it gets delivered to the right person… 😉 😄

gorby
😄 😄 😄

Hanno Kleinecke
I'm out of superlatives ! What can one say - you are constantly exceeding your own standards with this build, and that really says something !
Deeply stunned and impressed by your R.O. workstation !

JAM-SCREW
Well, first test is passed - package arrived. Second test passed looks in good condition. 😋. Now is the real test. How does the builder feel about the parts and are they suitable for this unbelievably excellent project.... time will tell.🍻

Spanjaard
one thing is for sure, they could not get to better hands 😉

David Taylor
JAM-SCREW.How big is your production facilities,you might need bigger premises as your products look great albeit in the hands of a master modeller.

bughunter
Wow, again every little sub-assembly is a fine model on it's own - fantastic 👍

Bernhard Schrock
Thx for you feedback 🙂🙂
The entire interior is lined with upholstery, which is primarily used for noise-insulation. Until yesterday, I broke my head because I didn't know how to repicate it… After a conversation with a mate (thx Hanno), the brilliant idea came to me: Fimo clay.
The material can be processed excellently and is solid in the oven after 30 minutes at 130°. The most important thing is that it does not become bone-hard but left elastic and can even be sanded.

Hanno Kleinecke
Again you nailed it ! That Fimo stuff looks very realistic ! 👍

Michael Kohl
150 pics and you didn't even close the fuselage. And not a second of dullness. Finest modelling entertainment. 🙂

David Taylor
Will you be adding crew Bernhard.

Joseph Russo
The insulation is amazing but so are the pieces of equipment

Bernhard Schrock
This morning I was curious and unpacked the chassis of Jam-Screw. As already written, the quality is outstanding. But everything is so filigree that you have to be very careful and not to break anything when handling. I had to improvise a bit here and there. In the end, I was finished after 2 hours. Including preparation for laying the cables.

Tom Spiegelberg
Der Baufortschritt ist echt sehenswert und beeindruckend Bernhard. Die Bilder vom Innenraum von Dir und Thomas sind toll! Es gibt leider sehr wenig Bilder vom Original und sind eine tolle Vorlage. Vielleicht macht ihr nen extra Walkaround hier. Ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten Bilder.

Bernhard Schrock
Danke fürs Lob Tom. 🙂. Dank der hervorragenden Innenraum-Fotos macht es wirklich sehr viel Freude herumzupuzzeln. Mein Seaking Projekt hat, könnte man sagen, eine „kritische Masse" erreicht. Dank diversen Kontakten zu Hubschrauber-Spezialisten, und ehemaligem Wart und nunmehr der Connection zur Jam-Screw habe ich die Möglichkeit offene Fragen auch dort zu klären. Für seine CAD files hat JS / Andy und seine Leute hunderte von Fotos geschossen, zu den ein normaler Sterblicher keinen Zugang hat.
Deinen Vorschlag werde ich an Thomas weiterleiten. Deine Idee ist sehr gut.🙂

Alec K
Jam-Screw additions are looking spectacular 👍

gorby
Amazing attention to detail!

Dieter Bihlmaier
Spechless 😉

Dietmar Bogatzki
Wahnsinn was du da reingesteckt hast allein die Instrumente und Sitze sind schon ne Show

Dietmar Bogatzki
👍 👍

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you for the big praise. I am very happy to have such a large number of fans of this WIP.🙂🙂
Dietmar: nur dank der Unterstützung von einer Handvoll von Mk-41 Fans ist es mir möglich so tief in die Materie einzutauchen.
Übrigens: Ganz am Anfang wollte ich die Türen offen lassen und nur ein „bisschen" im Inneren tun. Aber als ich die Fotos von Thomas betrachtet habe, bin ich „getürmt und hab mich auf dem Boden versteckt". Irgendwann habe ich jedoch den „Zustand der inneren Ruhe" (die Phase wenn ich kein Problem mehr damit habe mich z.B. mit einem Rucksack aus Fimo eine halbe Stunde zu beschäftigen)🙂🙂 und betrachte es inzwischen als eine Herausforderung, wieviel ich von dem Zeug nachbauen kann.

Shar Dipree
Awesome work so far! 👍👍👍👍

JAM-SCREW
Very exciting to see what can be achieved with even a very good kit. Commitment and patience wonderful recipe for outstanding success. A pleasure to go along for this journey.

Sy Bar
Truely amazing scratch building and detailing 🍿

bughunter
Impressive labels! Is your "normal printer" a InkJet or a Laser printer?

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you for your unique and supportive comments !🙂🙂
It's a usual business copymashine/printer in tower design, Minolta serie 7.

Bruce Huxtable
The interior is a delight to the eye, for sure. Inspirational modelling🙂

gorby
Just caught up with your build and it is jaw-dropping!

Bernhard Schrock
🙂🙂.
The last big point for interior components is completed: rack for electronic equipment & foldable seat.

Dietmar Bogatzki
einfach nur geil Bernhard 👍 /y)

Lode Schildermans
Simply amazing. There are no words to describe this level

Alec K
I agree with Lode. Just outstanding research and execution.

CaptGPF
God God! I'm just amazed how much scratch built detail you put into this build with each passing day!

Bernhard Schrock
A waterproof green rubber mat is laid on the cabin floor of the SeaKings of the German Navy. However, not under the equipment rack and not in the area of the „shower cabin" (radaroperator workstation). There, the rubber mat was left out, shortened and folded upwards.

At the points of the mountingpoints and other hatches, access covers (probably also made of rubber) are incorporated into the rubber mat.

Spanjaard
i really love the details of the rack for electronic equipment & foldable seat.

gorby
Astounding! 😮

J35J
Speachless, one of the best builds I've even seen.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hanno Kleinecke
The lecture continues ! Altough it's a pity to partially hide all these wonderful details in the closing halves, I'm curious !

Bernhard Schrock
After completing the engine housing I begun today detailing the bottom.
Just as on the fuselage sides, the equipment on the bottom of the Mk41 is different from the british variants.

Kim Branders
A masterpiece...😮......a big 👍

Alec K
The level of detailing on this thing is simply too notch. Number of bits you have added must be in the thousands! Masterclass 👍 👍👍

Dietmar Bogatzki
Einfach nur Geil.....hast du jede Niete nachgezählt, Bernhard 👍
Liebe solche Modellbauer da komme ich nicht mit
