I've been moving on this one pretty quick, so I thought I bring it over here. Here's the link to the beginning of the build

I got the rotor working and I "modified" it a bit. I extended the shaft all the way through the body so I could impress my son with a manually spinning rotor.
turns out the tailrotor wasn't glued in place that bad and I was able to free it up. B)

Okay, that's it, DSE can go screw themselves, I'm gonna be a Fire Pilot!

More pics, Ed! Looking brilliant so far!

I started painting tonight. Got the white on the rotor blades. Red is next. The rotor head has been painted and dry brushed. The fuselage is wearing is primer coat of white.

Eddie you're simply amazing! That is really something. Almost makes me want to give up models for macrame or something...maybe cross-stitching.

What you've done with that $1 heap of glue and styrene is incredible!

Inspiring as usual Eddie.

Dazzling speed, Eddie!  I'm loving it!

As I wallow in the mud with frickin' septic suppliers and utility companies...

Thank you everyone . Your kind words are an encouragement to me.
Moving along smartly and in a forward fashion.  The lighting is a bit deceiving. The red is very bright and and striking.

Jeez Mr M, I leave you alone for a day and you have all this progress? OH MY GOD! What a looker this one'll be.    

[elmayerle]

Eddie, that is moving right along in very striking fashion.  I'm impressed by both the quality and speed you're showing.

[Ollie]

Oh buddy, that's one wicked fire-eater!

   

[John Howling Mouse]

What a stand-out that's going to be on the shelf.

Can't wait to see it done!
