In late June I began to build a space helicopter for my Imperial Guard, mainly as a display piece.
I wanted to loosely base it on the UH-1 Iroquois, or “Huey” as well as on the Avatar’s choppers. The chopper is to secretly insert IG special forces (the so called Tiger Teams) deep behind enemy lines. Compared to real life, this would be a “Pave Low” mission, and for this the basic color of the chopper would have to be black. To go along with the theme of my IG army I named the model after a Greek God –CHARON, the ferryman in the underworld. The actual display piece would consist of the CHARON together with several members of the Tiger Team and a Callidus Assassin on a section of an aircraft carrier deck, depicting the last briefing and assembling of the team before they launch their night mission behind enemy lines. |

No, the tiger face is a freehand.

First off, I must say wow. This is fantastic. You really showed a lot of work and creativity in creating this from scratch piece of gaming art. The only negative thing I might say is that I picked out fairly easily that you used a soda bottle cap for the rear exhaust... with all the other really well done custom work, it just comes off as the weird random thing. It's like you got bored or lazy...
Overall, absolutely fantastic job! Very detailed and very well done! |

Yes guys, I know, a lot of people commented on the soda cap :( At the time of the build it seemed OK and was looking good, but by now I'm no longer satisfied with it either.
IF I ever find the time, I will try to replace it with something better....even though, I have no idea what I could do instead - in the end it's just an exhaust...
Thanks
