Chopper crew Vietnam

[ErGide72]

Hello all,

Like to present to you my WIP helo crew. Honet and Verlinden heads and parts are used.
Still work to do
Comments are welcome.













4th figure added, door gunner. Somehow the (beautiful!) head doesn't fit...

That's a well thought out vignette. Can't wait to see it all done up!

This is brilliant, a really great idea! I can't wait to see it painted

 

[Dan Morton]

The conversions are really well done and this is a great idea for a vignette!

A small suggestion. The scene looks kinda posed. Resist the idea of having any figure grouping look posed. If you add a photographer taking their picture the rest of the vignette would work, but otherwise give them something to do. The pilots could be looking at a map and talking together. One crew man could be handing out letters from home. Something like that and whatever works for you.

All the best,
Dan

Wow, that looks great! The entire scene is worthy of a magazine's Gallery entry.

Outstanding vignette and a huge amount of work gone into the figure conversions and updating the interior details of the Huey.

Can't wait to see the next group of figures painted.

Note the patch from 229th AHC on the 1st Pilot (the left one...); of course self made....

These look great and should look good together with the Huey.
