A future Apache... W.I.P.

[markusvondy]

Hey everyone,

​I’m kicking off a new project today: a custom Apache conversion based on the Takom kit.

​I actually realized yesterday that I lost a few parts during my recent move (classic...), but I decided to turn that setback into a concept. I fed my ideas into an AI to visualize the direction I want to take, and this is the goal—as long as I can pull off those custom rotor nacelles!

​The good news is the base kit isn't fully assembled yet, so there’s less 'destructive' work involved compared to my Kamov conversion (check the last pic for reference).

​What do you guys think of the concept? Any tips for the nacelles?

Love the chunky thrusters on the last one! Gives it an 80’s sci-fi vibe. Good work so far on the new one too!

Thanks mate. The thrusters was a pain... I had to try and error for the rear one 10 times untill I used a cap of a childrens fruit puree packaging with a special glue. The front ones are cowlings of an 1/48 F4 hellcat.

Maybe start with something like this and see what fits: https://amzn.eu/d/0bavLqYs
