Fantastic work you should feel proud of yourself what you are creating.

Next to be made is the central turbine. I'm pretty happy with the way the rotor shaft turned out :
The fascia surrounding the turbine wasn't real easy to make :
I prepare several skins at once to make sure everything fits properly. A fair bit of dry fitting is involved :
I found another guy on a Czech Papermodelling site (needs Translator) who has built this model. This bloke is above my skill level, and his build log has come in very handy when I get a bit stuck in the instructions. He's also documented most problems he's had along the way so I can (hopefully ) avoid them. This stage was one of those, and I'm very grateful to him. Apparently he didn't fair some of the framing enough around the turbines, so I made sure that I did :

The two air intakes needed careful assembly. I did most of the work on a piece of MDF with double-sided tape attached to make it easier (read POSSIBLE ) to put them together :
This is the skin that covers the transmission. It has an internal skin as well :
The next skin forward has two 90 degree tubes fitted to it. They need to be fitted to the skin before it's fitted :

Moving on to the gunner's cabin. More small bits - a couple of 2.5mm diameter knurled knobs :

The gunner's seat was a bit easier :

Thank you all .
The start of the build is the cabin. The laser-cut parts are perfect, much better than I could cut by hand in 0.5mm and 1.0mm card. Here is the main framing :
Two of the instrument panels. These have some very small parts. The gauge panel is laminated in 3 parts - the gauges, a very thin piece of clear acrylic from a cigarette packet, and the fascia which has been punched for the gauges :
The axe and fire extinguisher took me half a day to make :

Hi all,
My latest Card model - A Halinski kit of a Russian Mi24D Helicopter. Here are the pics of the cover page, 2 of the 3 pages of the laser-cut pieces, resin wheels and a preformed canopy :
This is going to be my most difficult card model to date. There are over 4,000 pieces (HMS Hood had about 2,500), some of them half the size of the smallest I've done so far. This should be FUN .
