Westland Merlin

Hey guys I started this model a couple of moths ago but had problems getting the mesh right so i scrapped it, went away and did some sub d tutorials. So this is the second attempt !!! I saw Herobobs fantastic Lynx and was inspired to resurect this project If it turns out half as good as his Lynx i'll be very happy.

This is what i have so far.

and here's what i am aiming for, I got one of the pilots from my squadron to take this out of the cockpit window

Looking really promising! There's only one thing that is wrong and that's, the center piece that goes down the front window isnt going down long enough. You may already know that but just pointing it out if you missed it! :P

Dont you just love choppers., not just Harleys. :wink:

Looks really nice Giant, very organic shape to it. My only crit would be, the kink half way down the fusilage is too pronounced.

Also the housing for the rear landing gear, the extruded box on the side seem square on yours, in the photo it's rectangle.

Hope im not too criticle.

Good job man!!

It's looking really nice Giant. And thanks for the compliment. I don't think I've ever inspired anyone before .
