Heading for the Huey
Posted: December 6th, 2017, 12:13 pm
My annual build is now underway. Having given Daz some money and told him to again find something that he would like on the tables and which I would build and donate ... with the only stipulation being, it not be an aircraft - he returned with a load of my cash and a packet of 1/35 figures....
After a few discussions and thoughts on what to do, I then purchased a Huey and the basics of a setting came to mind....
So
Plenty of parts and options on the sprues:
Some interesting looking danish pastries possibly??
initial progress on the figures
and it soon became clear, that with the interlocking-ness of the arms, I had got to build this as a single piece:
The Huey is coming along OK. It is certainly a product of its age, and fits where it touches; but having build a fair few Airfix old tool seakings I am used to a tad of filler
So after a tad of sanding and swearing at it, it is now at this stage:
I will be building and working on this project along with a fair few boats, and when I need to set them aside, to let things set or harden I shall dip back to this project for a bit over the next few months.
