So I found this piece of artwork and it made me do stuff
I wish I knew who drew it but I don't. Anyway it made me build this
Here is the whole photobucket so you can see how I got there. http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh50 ... r/Choppah/

Hile Gunslinger. Thankee for the link. I suspect the artist is a Deviantard who has a similar style. I really need to go back and find out so I can credit him or her Here is progress http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh50 ... r/Choppah/
You've got the blades on both rotors going the same direction. You need one set going the opposite direction for it to fly correctly. Otherwise it'll have a tendency to just spin in circles. Looks good otherwise, so far.

Ok it...eh..It looks too DARK now... A softer Earth tone I think would have been better... Still, that looks like it can take on some serious shit.

I very much like this. It's very impressive how you joined the two fuselages - I would've thought it would look really discontinuous, but this doesn't really have that problem. Looking forward to the final result.
Black is probably just a basecoat. Impressive-looking work there, I look forward to more.

Thanks all y'all. Black is just primer. Here she is resanded and with floats, forward wings and rotors
Of course it's still just a mockup at this stage. I have a ton of putty to apply and then resand before I can put camo paint on her.
That really does look like something Martiniere would design. Or some dud on Deviant Art, I suppose. Amazingly successful kitbash.

Those are all awesome. Seriously, I would love to know your kitbashing secrets. Open your mind to me...

Seriously awesome work there. How long have you been modeling?

Thanks very much my brothers I have been kitbashing and scratchbuilding since I found out that's how they built the models in Star Wars. I can honestly say that I haven't built a kit OOB for 16 years. Most of what I built before that was modified in some way.
Feel free to go to my Photobucket http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh50/sotoolslinger/
Check out all the albums, some are completed ,some are abandoned projects most are step by step build ups. I generally post on other dedicated modeling sites so I need to show progress shots.
Feel free to ask any technical questions. I will be happy to answer them.
Believe it or not I can usually even answer the "Where do you get your ideas?'' question.
