Thoroughly enjoyed my week off, it wasn't to to do the build it was because my doggie needed a operation which was done a week ago, and done loads of things that im not able to do during the working week, Dobbie was fine after the op just to take it easy for a week until the scars heal replaced some rotton posts along our property, put most of the garden to bed for the winter sos on and so on Dobbie aged 2 years old

Piet, i hope everything is getting back to normal,

Good morning Piet thank you for your kind words, but yesterday i realised that i need to rethink the hanger, because of the prtice i am using 1mm and not 2mm plastic card, but because of it being quite flexible i have been strengthening it up with off cuts out of sight, which then causes it own issues, when you want to work in that area, So i have revamped the hanger totally the hanger sides have been removed and replaced with 2*1mm and I did away with the inset by doing it this way it has become a lot more accurate and I have gained about 4mm in storage space for the helo, Phots later, i have to live and learn,

doors will be open, i am waiting for led lights now to give some feeling to it and then sort the hanger roof out.there will be warm white and red led lighting in there
-
well the hanger has a helo in it now, lol not that anyone in a maritime site would care, but i had to, my hands were tied, it has a fairly cheap basic OOB build, and I even left some bits off, the rotors blades were a pain as they were not design to fold like that here is what i am trying to copy (not my photo) the kit my attempt so far

well thats my quota of likes used for the day - lol again i just could not work in 1350, they way you have handled this build is amazing, love the PE set and your attention to detail
-
its a tight fit but looks like it was in real life
-
Good evening everyone spent quite a bit of time today on the hanger internal details, even though artistic licence applies i am happy with it, especially as when the helo is parked in front of it very little will be seen before being primed i put a cage under the landing primed with Halfords rattle can grey then in Citadel white which is quite a flat white using part of the spruce from the Bismark build, i formed a few water pipes which then were primed in red and added then made a set of hand rails for the landing and placed into its home for the night
-
today i detailed a few bits, very much artistic licence, but if the rivet counters want to pick me up, LOL it means they have a photo, that being the case I will change it
-
the office has been remade (3rd or 4th time) most likely the 10th just one door and put a desk inside not that you will ever see it and then put a platform in, to see if it looks in scale i taped some of the helo together
-
Good evening everyone the hanger idea did not work for me, when the door is cut the whole superstructure became to flexible, so back to the drawing board the solution I came up with was to make an internal hanger to fit inside the main body this has firm everything up and it is removable helicopter arrived

stay safe my friend

Popeye she was heavenly converted after being sold to Chile and renamed The Royal navys idea of the side entry hanger, was quite silly, and the conversion allowed her two helo, it was the Seaslug system that dictated the design this had become very outdated very fast the top photo is how she was when i served on her with the Exocet system fitted where B turret used to be before After

one of the reasons for picking the 1/72 version over the smaller 1/96 was the availability of the wessex HAS3 Falklands Helo http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234983812-westland-wessex-has3-falklands-war-172-italeri/
