Work continues slowly, though I'm making good progress. Started painting some of the details and bits. I want this version to be less busy, and more utilitarian. I'm modeling the paint and details off of a SeaHawk Helo.  I plan to light this up with some LEDs as well. Probably one or two in the cargo area with possibly one in each wing as spot lights. Plus the landing platform will be full of LEDs as well. And I can't forget, she'll be getting some nose art as well! Though I haven't decided on the final as of yet.








Thank you!

with some parts I found and some of the kids extra lego bits I crafted a door gun for clearing the landing area.. Reminds me kind of a blunderbuss.. The weapon comes off, the platform turns and folds on itself. I painted it this morning and will detail tonight and show update.

Here is a shot of the nose art I'm going to use. I touched it up, altered the colors and mocked it on a LAAT I found.. I think it should look pretty nice!

mock-up, exact position is still up in the air..

I received one of the two USB LED sets I ordered from China via Amazon. I've taken it apart and this is the one that will light up the cargo bay area of the LAAT. I'll end up painting the cover with some transparant red. I also stripped out a female USB connector. This will go in the gunship and allow me to power the LEDs from a power strip rather than batteries (so I can leave it on all the time for display).
