Very tidy Andy. It certainly looks the part.
Well then Guys,
I know it won`t look like much at all,but unlike the builds in the GB so far,i`ve had to stop actual building,until i get two of the crew figures in their seats....
Won`t dwell on those,as it`s a "Helicopter Build",but i wanted just to show what the hold up is,(Apart from trying to finish my tax returns at the same time
)!! Anyway,i have cracked on with Spraying the two fuselage sides,but that`s boring,so won`t bother to put pics up! Here`s the underside of the "Top Rotory bit".....
That`s it there with the Upper intake stuff,the weathering may look extreme,but when it`s inverted you`ll need a greater perspective.... hence the dark tones!.....
`tother side of that bit with whirlygig,needs some more detail painting,BUT,for once,i`m quite pleased at the start.......
Don`t worry about the dodgy base painting,that will be sorted ,need to do some research on what that pipework should be like....but no worries there
Lastly.....
The "Tinted Glass" that was need in the upper stuff.... best colour i had,so went for it,maybe not perfect,but i reckon in the big scheme of things i might get away with it!!
So,that`s my puny progress,but took a while,and then there`s the huge fuselage that i`ve worked on too.....
.... I`m pleased,but i doubt my Accountant will be!!
Thanks for looking in,
Andy

Build coming on well , I like that green shade and the thingy for attaching the whirly bits looks good.
Finishing your tax return ! your either very late or very early if its the 5th of April Mr Smith. Of course it could be some strange date that is used down your way.
Love to Rach and Cohan

Well,I`ve had a week from hell with hardly any benchtime at all!!
Work has been a total nightmare,and also trying to get my books in..... many days from 7am til midnight!!
However this last few days,i`ve managed to get the pilots done,so i can progress with putting the fuselage together......
..,... I warn you now,I`m NO figure painter,(Just an AfV builder who attempts figures!!) ....
But I had to get these Chaps in som i can move on with the build!!.......
Well,not exactly a heap of progress,but at least i can look forward to trying to get the rest of the Helicopter together soon

Looking very good Andy, you give me something to strive for. Practice, practice, practice.
Well,thanks for that vote of confidence Garry!!
........... although i`m not sure it`s warranted mate
,Andy
I`ve actually managed to get the two halves together
!! I was a bit worried about that bit of the build,but it surprisingly,relatively,stress free,(ish!!)......
Firstly though,the Air crew with the CORRECT number of Arms!!......
With some of the Dash there,as you won`t see it later!.... Also,the "New" arms are brighter.... just need to blend them in with a wash,and here it is under Duress !!
So there you have it!!.... Starting to look like a Huey now!
