I am not seeking sympathy, I'd like to be very clear on this, but tiny rare earth magnets and my eyes and hands are not the best of combinations! Not withstanding these seemingly perennial issues I have managed to fix said magnets to the completed helicopter models and their stands! I thought you might like to see them...
The Soviet HIND gunship first. I've a second kit still to make up, but Phil has well deserved a rest so that must wait patiently for a while in its box ~
For the B.A.O.R. we have a TOW Lynx to provide air to ground close support. Similarly there is a second of these still in kit form awaiting assembly and processing ~
Both kits were from Battlefront in the two starter sets I bought from Caliver Books when I first started out on this project With these two having been processed to completion there are just the magnets to fix to the two aircraft I've shown in an earlier post and it's all done, for now... We wargamers never say finished do we?
Finished? Rarely. Typically I experience various states of project dormancy. Nice helos!
ReplyDeleteDormant! I like that concept Jonathan! Pretty much describes me on occasions too. Glad the copters pass muster.
DeleteClassic helicopters and very nicely done too. Fixing small rare earth magnets was always a pain at work, especially trying to make sure you had the 'alignment' right!
ReplyDeleteI messed up the alignment on one stand so I've had to label it as an aide memoire!
DeleteWell done, should be well used in your games.
ReplyDeleteThanks you! They may get on the table later this month
ReplyDeleteNice kits, the Hind looks far more dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAs I expect to be the Soviets in the games I'd hope you're right George, but...
DeleteNever finished David, the helicopters look really splendid 👍
ReplyDeleteAll down to Phil again Matt, I just built the kits
DeleteAwsome work there from both of you! Well worth the effort of the tedious kit-bashing!
ReplyDeleteWe are both glad it's over!
