that looks very sci fi without the thpoter wings  :thumbsup:
you are getting there,
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

Nicely done.  :thumbsup:

I like the 'Avoid Contact Here' script, as a point of difference from 'No Push'... ;)

Have I missed a pic of it with all its wings attached somewhere?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

I like it.   One question, are those Atriedes  or Harkkonnen  markings?
"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you....."
It  means that you read  the instruction sheet

I think this is an early Atreises Copter,  far before the birth of Paul Atreides.

Thank you so much, it's a pleasure to share that with you all.

Could you believe that there are over 60 different parts added to the normal fuselage?
It is always a surprise, starting with a idea, developing the concept and start the search for parts from the trash box...

Today i started the design of new decals to print ,  my stash is full of much to old decals who don't work well anymore...  And i need a lot of the very small service signs, i like them on the surface very much 😁.

I have also started to build a group of ground crew figures to place them around.
