Fantastic work. I am a fan of the Arma series as well, nice homage. I have Dragon Rising but I never got that far for some reason, although I liked the plot.

Outstanding in every way.
Just love it.
Can't wait to see it in a game.

I have started on my AH-1Z Viper (Call-Sign "Starwolf 14") that is going to escort my Venom transport helicopter and give the Marines on the ground something to call if immediate CAS is needed :-)

Finished the cockpit and crew today and put it into the main fuselage. So far it looks really like nothing to be honest, but that was the case with my Venom as well :-D
I have also started its base.

I'll post progress on this bird in little steps, just like I did the last time.

Ohh, that's going to be a nice one. I always thought the Cobra was a rickety-looking thing, but after your post, I went to check that AH-1Z variant, and daaamn, that is one mean machine. The four-bladed rotor makes it look much more aggressive.

Since there were some tragic events taking place in my family, progress wasn't as much as I had expected to achieve over the weekend.
Anyway, the modelling always helped me to clear my head and so here are at least two pics of the little progress that I made:

Cockpit canopy added, base fuselage completed (I also completed the whole flyer base, but I won't show until the bird is done), ready for the paintjob...

Finished painting the low-viz camo.

Next steps is painting details, weathering the fuselage, adding final payload and of course decals.

Starts to look like a helicopter finally.

Panel wash, exhaust smoke and weathering completed. Next step: adding decals and a few touch-ups here and there.

Seeing what you achieve painting by hand is just impressive

My exact thoughts! Great work!

Thanks, guys.

Might be adding the decals tonight after the Gym.

I can thank you (maybe my bank would disagree...

), since seeing your really good work convinced me to go for 20mm/1:72 instead of 15mm !

Can't wait to receive my own minis. I will play France current operations (Mali, Afghanistan).

I have finished my 1/72 scale AH-1Z Viper, call-sign "Starwolf 1-4".

sundayhero · « **Reply #27 on:** November 09, 2013, 11:04:27 PM »

Too cool

Nice Cobra. I am really enjoying your choppers. I was an Aviation Electrician in a previous life and still love Helicopters.

Good lord these are some beautifully done helos! I can't wait to see the rest of this project come along. Gorgeous work!
