As promised. Am I completely happy with it? No, definitely not, but it will have to do for now. There are a lot of things about it that seem obvious to change to a casual observer's eye, that physically cannot be corrected due to the limitations of structure & proportions beneath the surface.
I'm doing something a little different with this MOC, though, in letting viewers directly decide a final detail!
Edit: I forgot to consider that many viewers probably have never seen the style of helicopter I'm going for. It's not supposed to look like a standard, long-fuselage, large-tail heli :) The MD NOTAR air ambulances have a very plain cylindrical tail with a fuselage that terminates quite prematurely compared to the "norm."

The right side is more traditional, and more close to the realist thing.
ReplyDeleteThe left is a bit fancy, but more correct for the pilote to be able to see what hapening around him.
So I would say left because ... hey it's a MOC not an official ;-) and moreover the pilote head will certainly be more visible (also maybe more easy to put in with our big fig fingers ^^)
I'd say right hand side, it makes it more believable, with a motor that looks like its powerful. Both sides are cool tbh, right side gets my vote
ReplyDeleteThis is a lethal air helicopter jang I wish I had it you make the best things ever I can't wait to see the hospital finished
ReplyDeleteI love this helicopter I wish I had it you made another lethal creation great creations jang
ReplyDeletewhy not make a helo helicopter you know can be both plane and helicoper
ReplyDeleteI believe the type of helicopter you maybe referingto is known as an Eurocopter 135/145 has rear loading and a high tail. Helicopters are a pain to get "canopy" to work right, in my MOC building.
ReplyDeleteMe? I was referring to an MD NOTAR chopper like the MD900.
DeleteI love it, like to have the instructions!!!
