Hey all,

I'm working on an armored helicopter, that's used for recon and troop transport. The fuel it uses is a crude form of gasoline, which in its unrefined state is rather heavy, so the 'copter can't be used for very long at a time. As its range is quite limited, there isn't any formal seating room - just hangbars and footholds beneath the armor. The vehicle itself is very spartan, with patchy armor and a minimalist design.

If I've time left over, I might create a character to go with it.

Comments would be appreciated :)

if its a troop transport where would the ppl sit?
any way its a good technical model but hte fact that your using mostly cubes is giving it a very empty look ... try makeing more of a hull or somehting that holds the piece together

hope this helps

Thanks for your input... the passengers (maybe 3-5 of them) would be either crammed in the front compartment with the pilot, or hanging below the side armor for short hops.

Wheee!
