So...now that you've done this one, are you going to do another SABA concept? Seems like everyone and their brother had a SABA submission back in the day!
It's a crappy self-made pic of a Lockheed Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft (UCAR), BTW

Hola, Amigos!!
Thanks for your comments. She's all pine wood, but the props are plastic card. The spinner is a small wooden stick shaped in a pencil sharpener

No JustCallMeRay, I will not make another SABA concept....soon :ph34r: I have a couple more builds to finish....make that three!!.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
How she started:



Half-way there (the canopy frames were made of electrician's tape, but the low quality of the material here made me redo them out of cardboard)


The props:


A very fun build

Just realised that I never commented on this one - I sure as hell looked at it, because I've remembered it when considering Whiffie Nominations... hint, hint, HINT!!!  ;D

Anyway, well done Rafa - your wood/carboard/foam/anything creations are humbling..... :thumbsup:

Well, thank goodness (and fellow whiffers) for re-posts....I nearly missed this one.    :thumbsup:   :wub:   :bow: 

Rafa, you truly are a Renaissance Man in all media.  This is a great concept and I can't believe you work in everything from straw-mud, cardboard, chewing gum, and, now----wood!  Have you considered drywall plaster?  It's cheap, easy to shape and paint, etc.

Fantastico!
