Hello All Managed to get some more work done on the Desert Cobra. Weapons and decals are on, and bit of light weathering. Got a few touch ups to do but I am getting there slowly! Hopefully will have an update on the 3 Tone Cobra on the next couple of days. According to research these birds were painted in the field during Desert Storm only the markings reapplied were the Modex and Bureau numbers and kill markings as and when they happened. anyway here are the pics. and as always thanks for looking.

Hello Finally manage to get round to more painting on the Snakes. Just a few touch up's required on the 3T Snake and I'm quite happy with the desert Snake. Just got to Future them and start the weathering process Anyway here are the pics Desert Snake 3 Tone Snake As always thanks for looking! Cheers

Hi guys and ladys Just a small update from me! Been really cold out in the man cave so not much getting done! The Huey's fuse halves are together sanded, puttied and sanded again, clears masked using Micro Liquid Mask. On the engine cover's I cut out the plastic "mesh" and replaced it with Fine woven brass mess, looks much better in my opinion. Anyway here a few pic's As always thanks for looking Cheers Brenden

very awesome work!!!

looking inspiring already!!

Thank you gents!

very clean work!! Coming along nicely!

that is some great work you are doing!! Cant wait for more

Hello all I have got cabin installed and fuse halves together, with a test shot of paint on the fuse to see if the colour I have is correct (looks ok ). I still have the wiring to add and the the back of the IP to finish, clean up the cyclic's and more detail painting to do, hope to get that done this weekend. the seat cushions are made from toilet paper soaked in super glue and the seat belts are made from the surround of a wine bottle top. Not really happy with them so I'll give them another go this weekend as well. Once all that is done I will start on Huey interior and scratch up a few details that are missing from the kit. Anyway here are the pics As always thanks for looking! Cheers Brenden

fantastic work!!!

looking very cool!!

that is some very impressive work!!!

I have moved onto the Huey and started with the seats which were bare and plain I scratched the seat supports, cover the rear and the armour plates Thanks for looking and any comments welcome, good or bad. Cheers Brenden Thanks for looking Brenden

Then....now this is wear the swearing came in..... The rear cabin bulk head in the kit was completely wrong so I made a template and made a new rear bulk head with the correct piece from the kit. Then I had to scratch the folding seats for the cabin (1 folded and one extended (still have to put the legs on)) Minigun system implace with a few scratch details for the rear cabin. The front cabin is all done bar a few minor details which will be added later. Again all extra's have been scratch built Here are a few pics of everything in place for a test fit.

Hi guys This is a build I am doing for a Group Build on another site but since its a large scale I thought I would share it here. I am using the old Revell 1/32 Helicopter Patrol kit Now this is an old kit and to be honest not that great so I though I would try my hand at some scratch building and detailing etc. This will be my first real attempt at something like this so be gentle......but please feel free to give pointers and suggestions. Well here we go with the first couple pics I have remove the kit fairing and replaced with .25mm plastic card and some evergreen strips. I then moved onto the back of the IP and filled and addded the various bumps that the cabling will attach to later. I also had a go at recreating the lower console based loosely on pics I have (the kit one was blank and smooth). I added switch and knobs. I have made up the armour plates for the seats and glued into place as well I have added some basic detail to the rear cabin floor and the bulkhead that separates the cockpit and the cabin put the seats in for a test fit. First off the seats got the reinforcing strips on them and some primer I have not remove the seat belts as I am going to cover them with some material to emulate the "cushion's" Got some more work done on the IP and s shot of primer

!!!!!SUPERB!!!!!

That is Bloody FANTASTIC!!!

That is Fantastic!!

Now thats a BEAUTY!!

Just incredible!!! Great Work!

Holy Crap!!!! That is ACE!!!!

ah was looking forward to the update pics.
