EvilEnderman Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) 'Ello, been a while since I've posted here A good way to break this absence with my WIP Robinson R22. I've always loved that heli, and this contest has given me the boost to attempt to make it. It features a fake engine, connected to the rotors. The front bodywork is pretty much done, but I fear I've already exceeded the parts limit :p https://imgur.com/1w8uDE9 Bottom section - nothing special here. Haven't finished that second 'thingymabob' yet. https://imgur.com/TFiLotx Front view. Something about the front section doesn't look right to me - Don't know what it is - Perhaps it's how wide it is. https://imgur.com/zHPvMqE Rear view. I really like this, the engine is showing, like the real thing, and, the rotor turning hand knob is put onto the engine fan thingy :p Used those system curved bits to get the shape just right https://imgur.com/fG0GJ5a Side profile Picture resizing may not work, but I'm praying for the best. EDIT Nope, i'll use these imgur links 'till i get the opportunity to resize properly. Apologies for the hassle it causes. More pics to come, - or, even stripped down model if I exceed the limit :p Gonna have a good ol' count. Depending on the result of this, decides if I'm gonna strip down, or add the rear section :p -Enderman Edited June 7, 2014 by EvilEnderman Quote
EvilEnderman Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) 182... EDIT - After re-assembling and taking off bits that weren't needed / didn't look good, the total is at a relieving 167 Edited June 7, 2014 by EvilEnderman Quote

EvilEnderman Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) And, progress has been made. I call it done, I reckon. Only thing that bugs me now is that the tail fin is a bit too tall. I'll change it to 2 3x2 angled plates, instead of the 4x2. (The thought of having a rummage through 'the box' horrifies me) (Direct link if pictures don't load https://imgur.com/a/9Qfb6) Going against the Technic Tradition of blue seats. I thought yellow suited this model more. Got the rear end done, and I'm satisfied with the results. Tail fin definitely does look too big. Time for a rummage.

EvilEnderman Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) 200 pieces, and tail fin fixed, I present the final iteration of my helicopter. (may I reccommend http://www.picresize.com/batch.php to resize pics ) This pic shows the chassis - I tried to use techniques present in official technic models. Observe the smaller tailfin Added those half bushings at the end of the 'legs', in order to make sure it stays properly upright So, that's it pretty much. Any improvements or suggestions, criticisms, etc. are welcome! Cheers, Enderman Edited June 9, 2014 by EvilEnderman Quote
