Rodders154 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The trouble with building things you know well is knowing when to stop adding detail Rodders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhatter Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wow - I just read through your WIP - very impressive detailing there. All very much worth the effort! It looks fantastic - not overly weathered which I actually like Job well done! MH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Shame you cant build an HC4 straight from the box yet in 48th, so more praise to you for going the long winded route - you can sit her on the shelf now and look back on one very fine model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royster Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thank you all for your kind feedback. I'm glad my modelling skills are progressing in the right direction. I still only consider myself a novice but by thunder did I enjoy building it. Which in my opinion is 90% of the hobby... Thanks again.. I can only advise that when you go for a difficult subject (and it helps to be passionate about it) expect it to go wrong a few times; but you also have a back up plan as I did (extra donor kit). I've also learned that it's ok to fail it at times but to leave it, think and go back and have another go. The only area that is not forgiving in the slightest is the windows!

Colin W Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Excellent model. I loved the build thread and the way you posted the colour variations you tried. Really helpful for those of us who will tread the path later. I dont think I'll try the open nose though, there are usually enough bits to knock off a helecopter model without asking for more!

Arachnid Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 A job well done, and the more I look the more I think we need a 1/32nd or 1/35th Sea King, so come on Revell or Tamiya But that is one cracking build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
