Hello all. A while ago I posted some WIP pictures of a Ka-29 "Marine" helicopter conversion that I was doing for my 15mm Scifi figures. It's now complete and I have pictures over at my blog: link

Reminds me of a cucumber…  Are the landing gear as delicate as they look? |

Looks like it'd be a great dedicated dropshop to go alongside Khurasan's Doe. Any chance of some pics with some 15mm miniatures? |

The undercarriage is pretty flimsy. I'm expecting that it'll be the first casualty. At that point I'll probably look to add something suitable in metal, probably from a 1/72 aircraft detailing kit if I can find one that fits. |

Reminds me of a cucumber… Its really looks great to me i also think that the nick names of the 'Pickle' is well suited. :) |

Try ordering landing gear from a 40K Tau Devilfish. Several Ebay bits sellers make them available as well as thewarstore.com Combat Wombat might have some useful bits too. -Eli |

This is fantastic, looks like a Jolly Green Giant, though if i were a soldier i'd prolly call it "the Pickle" too:) ~Jared |

And thus it was forever known as the "Pickle"… Honestly, I don't see that as any insult. It's a great bit of color that makes the vehicle seem more alive. -Eli |

That's a great kitbash, Goober! Now I want to buy and convert an Mi-8… Might be able to fit a small vehicle through the rear clamshell doors… |

Ha! I was looking all over for one in the local shops to do a 15mm version of my 28mm kitbash (sorry about the pic, it was for a contest entry)
but had to resort to using a clearance Eurocopter EC145 in 1/72 with 1/100 A-10 ($10 total?)
