Afternoon ladies and gents,

New to the forum, so figured I'd start by posting one of my current projects. 

 

I run CNC waterjet for work, and in the middle of a long cut, I got to thinking about what I wanted to do for my next build. 

I decided on a diorama for HMLA-167, having a Whiskey model Cobra and a November model Huey on the flight line like they do for squadron pictures. 

So, I drew it up and cut my base plate out of 1/4" aluminum. 

debured all the rough edges from the cut, 

went to wal-mart and picked up some of that textured spray paint. I cant remember the name of it off the top of my head, but the boss lady picked it, and i'm glad she did. 

Let the couple of coats dry, then i had some old oil from the last time i did my truck. dipped some of it on an old rag, and went to town on the pl17634625_10158529982535788_721247442570417862737_10158529982895788_8690703306907 ate

The huey is ok at best. This one one of my builds shortly after getting back into the hobby about a year and a half or so ago now.
