Yo Dudes

Threw this together a short time ago.

Gots me some rail figures hanging out the side in a dramatic rescue.

I saw a demonstration once, years ago. The Huey hovered, they threw ropes out, and the men slid down the ropes, while the helicopter bounced around in the sky. It made me think of the legal term, "No visible means of support."

Nice looking helicopter- The subdued yellow came out particularly well.

Is the chopper a model kit?

Yes. Italeri. 1/72 AB 204b 1 huf.

But can you run, go, get to it?

Was that even a Huey?

So many questions.

As Dutch was sure to face after the credits rolled. Now there's a film idea! Do it like Capricorn One. The general from the first film is pushed aside by another general. They could build a fake jungle and expect Dutch to fake what they want to have happened for a cover story. "It was just a boar running around killing everyone". But Dutch doesn't "stick around" and escapes into the desert.

Only the predators ship lands, as they have some covering up to do themselves, and start killing people on the airforce base.

Of course Dutch meets up with a hot reporter chick spying on the base from some rocks. She knew the general was up to something, and has had a bird's eye view of ghosts killing people.

Dutch decides to go back, with his "baggage", of course.

Guns are as easy as an Easter egg hunt on a football oval.

Cue a secession of new one liners as they team up with the rag tag remnants of the base.

Dutch shoots of a predators hand, "Give me five."

A camouflaged one is put down, "So sorry, I didn't see you."

Of cause the reporter is so obsessed with taking photos that she continues as a pred looms on a ledge over her with a spear, ready to strike. In a typical blonde moment, the flash goes off, the pred loses his balance and falls to his death.

The next five minutes sees Dutch pulling her around by the arm, because "I want you to stick around, where it's safe ok?" Of course that brought up a two minute rant about women's lib while he looks like he's getting a migraine (cue audience reaction as they shout "it's not a tumer!").

There will be a few ends shot, to be test screened.

Dutch dies, Dutch blows up the base, Duch gets a predator sword and pulls a Conan pose in the spaceships captains chair with the reporter at his feet.

Probably some showdown with Dutch, the general and the predator leader all with an axe to grind. With them all wanting the reporter for their own reasons. An all out brawl, 2 on 1 the 1 on 2, flip flopping tag teams and 3 second alliances.

While the guys are at it, the reporter reads a manual and sets some C4. Then grabs Dutch while the others are fighting.

Military are swarming outside as the two reach the spaceship. The predator who took a tumble is standing on the ramp. Looks at them, then the military vehicles headed their way.

He waves them onboard, and the door closes as the building blows up behind the asending ship and it flies off into the sky.
