falcon20driver Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Welcome to The Helicopter Group Build! This build is being moderated by Winnie and myself (falcon20driver). The rules are very simple for this group build: 1: Build a Helicopter 2: No tilt rotors 3: Any color scheme from any country 4: What ifs are allowed assuming again, it is a helicopter only. 5: Have fun! The build will end on July 1st, and it has not been finalized whether there will be a prize yet. Stay tuned for any announcement on that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Hi, What's the position on started helicopter kits? I have a 1/72 OH-6 that is well underway from the Recce GB. If allowed, I could attempt to finish it here. I don't feel it should be included in any prize draw. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Stefan, I talked with someone about this last night. I decided they could join but you need to post in your thread that you are stepping aside from any prize consideration. Have fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll add some other helicopters after the Heavies and the Strike/Attack GB's. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 can not resist the enthusiasm to participate, by the time of the group I think I could with a crazy post apocalyptic idea: What defense options would you have with helicopter parts? Only that I want to add inclination rotors as post-apocalyptic solutions (just fun) Could start participate as a What if 1/35? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 AS long as it is a proper HELICOPTER and not TILT-ROTOR/Vertical Lift category you should be ok. So a primary LIFT ROTOR, or many.... A rotodyne is a GYROCOPTER but still uses a rotor for lift, so if you can keep it within those guidelines you should be ok. Cheers H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ernest Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Perfect, then I in with an AH-6 post apocalyptic. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ahh so it becomes my turn to ask! I have a 212 that I am building fr a frien as sort of a "Commission" build, and I started it just before XMAS. I am wondering if my cohort can judge if this is too far along for the groupbuild? If not I will do this one first... H. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I told some others that as long as they removed themselves from raffle consideration, they were welcome. The more the merrier. Also, it doesn't appear to be much more than interior work so build away my friend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Sorta deleted myself from the Raffle at the start, but cool beanz! The Civvy 212 will be included! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GretarBill Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Hi. I, as Winnie and Stefan above, also want to comlpleat a helicopter I started building for the SAR GB in 2015. Most of the small detailing and scrachbuilding is done. So I'm hoping that I'll be able to compleat it in this GB. Isn't that ok? Of course I will not count me in the raffle consideration. Best regards Grétar W. G. Edited March 13, 2017 by GretarBill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yes, just withdraw your name for the sweepstakes at the end (for this model), then you can join. Harald Quote Link to post Share on other sites
