Hi all,

Perhaps it's just me, but I think helicopter dioramas don't look right unless the main rotors are moving - has anyone tried this with any success ?

I've tried using airbrushed acetate sheet to represent a turning rotor in 72nd scale and I think this looks ok but in 35th it is a different story (but will do this with the tail rotor.)

Any advice gratefully received !

Andy

Check a couple of posts down.

Help Motorizing Rotor Blades

I saw those posts, but "yeah, I've done it" is not really "here's how to do it " is it ?

Thanks anyway.

Andy

Andy,

give this guys site a look over... drop him a line an who knows he might be able to give you a hand in the right direction with this idea...

Hmm, I thought I explained the rotor connection pretty well. Maybe not. What else do you need to know?

Gino,

not trying to step on your toes, My apologies if you took My post as such, but it wasn't ment to be that in any form... was just giving that link to give him an idea of what another has done as well.

No problem Chris, didn't take it that way at all. The site looks pretty cool. Just wondering what other info he needed.
