MASH 4077 Homage

[Twokidsnosleep]

So this Revell 1/35 Bell H-13H helicopter is finished
What an awesome gb idea and I have had a blast with it.

It turned this into a MASH helicopter the second I saw there were decals for it in the kit.
The TV show MASH was a huge influence on me as a child. I watched reruns daily and the weekly new show.
I am sure I cried during the last episode and have never watched it again, not even reruns now.
I thought I wanted to be a surgeon b/c of MASH and worshipped those guys. My personality is like BJ’s more than Hawkeye.
My grade 12 yr a senior medical student sat me down and told me to become a dentist and not a doctor. He was my oldest sister’s boyfriend at the time and she was finishing dentistry as he was finishing his medical undergrad...and then 4-6-8 more years after that.
So I changed but always loved the idea of being a surgeon.

I loved MASH as well. AndI can tell you I did cry during the last one. You did a fantastic job. In my mind you are already the winner.

Thanks man, I loved that show too
I have no interest in any competition for the sig or gb so they can count me out
This was just for fun and a bit of thanks to the show for my childhood
For following along Don

Beautifully done sir

I teared up a bit on the last episode, but I can't stop rewatching the show. One of the best in my opinion.

Cheers

Seeing the build was amazing - to see it set in the tribute diorama is nothing short of awesome. Well done sir!!

Some really nice words, thanks

I agree Matthew it is getting tiresome just how consistently good Scott is, perhaps we should instigate a handicap system where "the boys" go round and remove a finger until he's at the same standard as the rest of us As that seems unlikly I can only offer:

Cracking build and finish mate

Not sure about the longevity of that sign though! Little bit of rotor pruning......

He is my friend, and I can't condone violence against him. Perhaps we go in the other direction and send him lots of rum. Perhaps he will stay sloshed enough to be on our level.

Nope, the rotor spins without hitting...I checked

Yes
A Spiced rum will always find a happy home here

Awesome Scott! As I said I give this build an 11!! Quoting Spinal Tap. I ditto BFD on setting the bar here!! LOL
I look at yours and I want to hide mine, but then you just push me to do better and learn more!

I spent many a day watching M.A.S.H. 4077 This is a wonderful tribute.

Thank you for the kind words
I really don’t like the idea of anything I make intimidating someone to stop doing what they are making
I try to show simple and inexpensive things to use and ways to do stuff In my builds that make it look better and detail it more.
I am no master by any means and am happy to share any techniques with anyone...just ask.
Push you to do better, Murph THAT I like. You have done the same for me

[jmurphy18]

Thanks Scott!! Some days on this 1/35 I think I feel overwhelmed and bit off too much. But I am making progress and I got some ideas from you . I even get to do an update today

HAGD!

[TommyKillander]

Holy Styrene!

This is totally outstanding!

What a fantastic vignette with the sign and everything

That is worth a toast I think

That's an awesome result mate and well deserved BOTW on the live show too

So glad you stuffed the Horseman back into his Sleep Hollow and dug out a 'copter instead

Thanks for joining in!

I had an absolute blast with this
It was an easy build and base. It just kinda wanted to come out of me.
Have not had a build flow out so naturally before where things just seemed to click...well maybe that Star Wars one

[BobM]

Hawkeye approves....



And so do I...
