A bit of an update.

Hi A bit of progress but the fires here in Los Angeles in the modeling room(garage)make it hard to breathe cause of the smoke and ashes flying around. once fuselage is closed, field of view of interior cabin is really restricted.

Thanks, I agree about the first interior I made but i could not salvage anything from it and sometimes its better to start fresh.

A bit more done on the new interior.

It was my mistake and I could not fix it. I thought about putting this one away but I have so much involved so far I have to finish it.

Well, back in the game. Remaking the interior with a new kit since I wasn't able to line up and fix the top of the cockpit right above the transmission, it looked real bad.....I just could not make it look right because too much plastic surgery. Remaking the interior with cargo seats since the sub hunting floor is glued and I would destroy it trying to unglue it from the fuselage. Not the first time I redo my builds. It took a while to find a new kit at decent price since I couldn't find it under $150 + shipping.

You didn't miss anything, not finished yet. Thanks for checking in.

Love the engines. Truly beautiful work.

Well, this is a fantastic great start. I really love the cockpit work. Not familiar with Mengs products but it looks sharp. The engine are topnotch. nice work Oliver

Wow, please post on here when you get it.

Hi love to do a Gazelle in 1/32 but none are available other than working with the kinetic kit from the Blue Thunder version. I am hoping to get the Westland Wasp/Scout in 1/32 in CAD from someone in the UK when it becomes available. I am also looking at the CM 170 Fouga in 1/32 from Daco.

Well, gonna have to step up my game when I see this kind of talented work. Glad to see you didn't give up on helicopter builds. Nice start my friend. Are you folding the blades and using the folding AM? Drybrushing is just right in my opinion. Oliver

Still here folks, just nothing to show.

Amazing, yes more photos please

Or maybe too many posts, folks might be getting tired of this build.

Top of blades are grey and bottom dark green/black. I will add the mid blade yellow strips after the bottom is painted.

Not summer holiday...just summer heat. Finished painting the rotorhead dull Alu and working on the blades today.

Fading the grass

Added an electrical box to the building and wires that will connect to the tower, I moved and raised the sign a bit. I just can't decide on the right shade of green for the grass yet.

Just a touch of flowers. Started fading some of grass.

Putting pieces down to get the right feel. I will paint the grass a touch of brown and add some dusting. I bought small flowers to put around the tower.

Back on the base.

Good start. A great subject rarely seen in modeling tables, glad to see this being done.

This looks fantastic. Nice modeling going on here.
