The helicopter looks very good.  :-*

How did you resolve the problem with the crew fitting to the cockpit seats?

I just made the legs about 3m longer. I cut them at the knees, drilled a few holes inserted some wire and rescue-ted the trousers . Did the job for me.

Here is a HMG of the North Vietnamese Army on the move. Again sculpted with the addition of personal arms of the operators so they are not defenseless while moving the HMG.

This is the squad leader of the 3rd Squad . It is the Empress miniature combo of an officer and his RTO with a slight difference. I sawed of the head of the officer figure. I removed the original head and added a head showing myself sculpted by Paul Hicks
