Global Scale Modeller

Well guys, Here is my reveal of this whirly bird.
I realy enjoyed building this kit. It was a easy fit with little errors in it.
And as you probably know, I do more than just the kit.... I like putting it in a diorama or on a base.
And so I did with this Bell....

I took foto's from the Bell on the base and some pics off the base as you will see.
We are even go back in time a little...

I hope you guys like this reveal as much as I did building this kit

Now let's take off!







































And a bonus video to say thanks for waching!
Wanted to put the M*A*S*H theme under the video, but could not do it.. sorry

Thank you Tom!
That helmet was a real pain in the a..butt!

That is a grogeous little bell, beautifully built. The diorama frames it so well. Top Job.

Thank you very much Alex Glad you like it.

Frans you've produced an absolute stunner, really beautiful creation which reflects the period wonderfully.

In my eyes the figure is perfect and complements the dio so so well, his pose suggests the balance of relaxing/ weariness and madness which a medevac pilot must have had.

Well done

It was a nice kit to build too! Had a pic of it posted on Flickr, and the best compliment I could get was from a Vienam veteran. For him this dio was spot on. His comment gave me the chills..

The helmet..... now that was a pain in the butt! Small package of Marlboro, bug juice, bandage and a 3 tone camo painted...

Brilliant, well done! Top job!!!

Beautiful work on the chopper and pilot. Very nice and relaxing setting on a smart looking vignette.
