Dez Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Looking good! I wish I could have done my interior, but time concerns won out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avus Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Great work! The interior is amazing; I love that tied down drums on the pallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew MacKay Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) had a sod of a day at work today, so good to get some modeling time in ... Basicaly the interior is finished, just need to put the strop on the starbord side seats and do a little more "busying" around the ramp. Once it's all buttoned up you should just see a hint of detail, one of the resions for not going overboard on the interior. Oh and before I forget ... The Marines have a nick name for for this bird... I think it's "Thunder Duck" please correctly me if I'm wrong.

I think it's "Thunder Duck" please correctly me if Can't say I ever heard that one. The first fleet unit was the Thunder Chickens, could have been a play on words for them.

HTH Cheers Tank.. so thats what that was about ... found some mention of it on youtube and thought they meant the V-22 it's self... Personaly I think this bird kinda looks like a duck, but then again it resembles a Kakapo as well, only problem it that they are flightless.

Andrew MacKay Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 a little more process... those blades took forever to get right, lots of gaps to fill and masking the spinner hub was a pain. As you can see from the filler the fit really isnt the best. Off to a little town called Hanmer for a week of sitting in hotpools and doing very little Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
