Oldbaldguy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Read just a couple of days ago that SOCOM or somebody is trying to decide whether to keep Little Birds in the inventory or retire them. These are pretty unique critters; not sure there is anything like a 1 to 1 replacement out there right now. But that never stopped the bean counters.

SOCOM, for the most part, tends to get a pass from the bean counters. Anthony in NZ and Pete Fleischmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironwing Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Indeed..what shark said. No idea what it is, but that is world class work. It takes a special skill to do the things you do. Thanks for sharing. Regards Geoff Pete Fleischmann and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Thanks all for the kind encouragement! I hit this stuff with a gloss coat..a few placards and oil wash. The wash evens everything out a bunch. Flat coat next- first aid kit is from Live Resin. Red Cross decal from Werner Wings.. Fire extinguisher from the H-60 kit- cheers for now P Edited July 13, 2021 by Pete Fleischmann Martinnfb, F`s are my favs, Brett M and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Realllly nice work, Pete! I kind of like the gloss look..but, probably not realistic. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Sweet modeling Pig! Pure Precision as usual and your great photography also pops out the quality of your work. So cool, despite the fact that I'm not a chopper fan, your (and Shark64's) work is gradually converting me to the Dark Chopper Side a lot.

It’s funny, because I consider myself a “jet guy”, but the Pavehawk forced me to learn some new techniques etc that I wouldn’t have needed otherwise. The helos weather differently, and the techniques for the gear and figures were borrowed from armor modeling. Ultimately there was no way to get to the finish line without some new arrows in my quiver. Growth is good! And although I am a jet guy at heart, my two oldest sons are infantry officers, headed for Ranger school and beyond. Their operational world is pretty cool, and has opened up a new world for me to model- and these helo builds are more about the figures for me- the guys in the back..The outrigger riders for this build are what I’m hoping to emphasize. I think you’d enjoy a helo build! come on over to the dark side for a bit! I’m sure you’d do something amazing, and you might stay for more than one! cheers Pete Derek B, chuck540z3, Brett M and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwrench Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Chuck, I agree with Pete. I'd love to see you tackle a helo build (preferably a H-60). Your techniques and your photography are top notch. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Outstanding work once again Pete! I love the added details like the braided lines. I’m guessing that’s from anyz? I have a bunch of their stuff but haven’t put much of it to good use yet. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
