Crashed helicopter scatter terrain from broken toy

Nicely done! EC-120 Colibri?

I liked the paint job, the bent and cranked rotors, and the crud on the chin of the wreck.
Couple of questions...
Is the model to scale with 28mm figs?
What scenarios do you envision with this model?
Will it be an objective or just some eye candy wreckage?

The model fits with my 28mm figures. I’ll post a picture later.
I’m going to use it in modern games (Spectre ops rules), zombie (my Shambling Dead variation of Akulas rules), post apoc (Zona Alfa) possibly others. So rescue downed crew or passenge, recover important piece of equipment or data, recover the helicopter, a distraction, search and destroy the missile or weapon that brought it down.
It can also serve as an objective in its own right and also as a general battlefield clutter.

Not sure it is any particular helicopter just a generic toy. But does resemble the EC-120

Definitely works scale wise.

Looks brill! Thanks very much for sharing it, great piece of inspiration.

Yep - def a fit for 28mm...

[dadlamassu]

Thanks for all the kind words.

The helicopter is still available in Poundland (UK) in a variety of colours

Plant seeds and bits picked up on walks and dried, dry brushed and varnished.

These looked nice but once dried the seess are very fragile so might only lat a game or two


These seeds are a bit stronger


Much more robust


Tall cones dry brushed green and yellow


Different cones dry brushed pale yellow


Seed pods



Star things from discarded pot pouri

Great scatter terrain.

If/when they fall, gather them up and glue the seeds onto a base.
Works well as a threat to players, or something for them to gather.

You are inspiring me to get back to Zona Alfa building!

A.  If I see one of those helicopters in my area, I'll be sure to grab at least one.  And great job on that flora.  I wouldn't sweat it if those seeds do end up falling of, this is all post-apocalyptic after all.  Barren vegetation isn't out of the question...

The helicopter has gone from my local poundland.  But similar ones appear every so often. 

Any bits that fall off the plant will get glued to the base or onto other bases as pretty flowers.

You just never know what you might find at pound or dollar stores...and great idea on the fallen flowers...
