Little update on the build.


the rotor blades were started tonight  but I still have to do some touch ups here and there and weather them so not finished yet.

Great mountain peak Stu.


When I saw it, it reminded me of Adam and Eve at the top of Tryfan.

It does look a bit like it now you mention it. I have actually stood a top the stones and 'Taken the freedom of the hills' 


Great work Stuart

Coming along very nicely Stuart. The rivet detail on the chopper is very good.

That pin wash has certainly changed the look and feel of the Helicopter - excellent, my only niggle would be the horizontal fuselage join on the front, its quite prominent in the 'white' area, if in fact it is a join  :$

Cheers for the feedback Steve and I think I know what you mean but it's not a join.


I haven't used a wash on the white areas yet as unsure what to use on white,would this help and if so what wash would be best not to mess up the colour.


really appreciate your time Steve

Light grey / black or a dark brown might work , maybe a couple of chips to the 'underlying' colour may break up the white (around the panel edges / rivets) ?

All that is missing are the Zuni rocket packs and mini-guns..........OOOOOHHHH, it's not that kind of "rescue".........I was wondering why it was so brightly coloured! :$ O.o


Very nice work, can't wait to see it against the spectacular mountain back drop that you have made! B|

Hope the scale is ok for both as bit worried the mountain is a bit  smaller although it is only the peak and not the whole mountain so fingers crossed
