Hello all!
As promised the HAH-77 Timber Wolf has arrived. Building the fluff as we speak.
As you can all I have is the base coat, sorry for not having more.
This will be part of my contract army ( Colonial Ranger ) based of my favorite movie Aliens but 40K style!
I love the Russian Hind, so I built this with that in mind with a 40K mix.
Hope you enjoy!
Comments and thoughts are welcome.

It looks very good. I really like the set back wings and rocket pods.

Thanks,
It took me about two weeks of mock-ups and testing of material to get the blades right.
Still on the fence about a dual rotor system, I built the current one so that I could come back and add an additional rotor if i wanted to.
What do guy/gals think?

This is a way cool conversion! I think double rotors would look super sexy...  |

The best Helicopter conversion of a Valk yet in my book!!!
the only thing i can see wrong is the blades need to be a tad.. Beefier. and spaced out evenly. they don't look like they could generate the lift needed for such a Large Helicopter

This is really cool and looks like it would be a lot of fun to sort out.
It is sorta Hind-like which is killer.

Thanks for all your comments!
Now on to painting, but not sure on how I want to do it yet (colors).
Just got the Fast-Rope outrigger above the door, pics will follow.
I have an idea on an APC that i really like to build. It will look similar to the Aliens APC.

Bad. Ass. I agree that the blades should be wider and spaced evenly, only if im being fussy though. Apache vendettas?

Little update,
Finished the MRPs, I'm pleased with them...for now.
As for the Wolf I changed the color to flat black. Had a hell of a time with the black wash, going to try a Thraka Green wash on flat black..hopeful.
I have decided to do a coaxial rotor setup, I think I have a way to do it now.
Tried to post some pics but I guess 110 degrees temps does bad things to cameras.
Pics are coming!
