Duster? Because it churns the dust like a helicopter ? well I would suppose so...
ReplyDeleteLove VTOLs, they are my 2nd favourite type of aircraft (airships being the 1st of course!). I like Albastross, its has something of the Westland Wessex about it (certainly one of my favourite heli's) Well done Ang, I must have a go as soon as I cna get a bits box built up
ReplyDeleteWhat are the rotors made from?
ReplyDeleteAmazing, its cool to see the process. Thank you! Vtols ARE so damn expensive, I agree!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Strike Leader,
Deletelet's face it every gamer would like to get every mini that he lays his eyes on & likes, scratchbuilding helps sooth the itch a little bit :):):)... and building something from scrap is doubly satisfying... Glad you like the minis, I would be pleased if you can do your own & show it
