"Helicopter" sans the rotors
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, December 13, 2003 10:51 AM
Going purely from memory at this point, I remember a comic book similar to Heavy Metal that had a story involving these helicopters without the rotors.

I want to build such a thing. (the idea seems popular in hollywood what with movies like AI)

Since the comic books are stored someplace, I am not sure if I will find them. (much less the name of the comic)

Has anyone seen such a thing? I plan on looking for a model of a Dauphin or Bell helicopter that fits my memory best and get another model with winglets (maybe an Apache)

Has anyone seen the comic I am refering to or have ideas on making this "homebrew" possible?

Nope, this was from a magazine similar to Heavy Metal. It would have 3 or for story arcs per issue.

I caught one story arc that involved air vehicles that were basically this:

That's an awful lot of clear plastic for a model. It looks like a scratch build or something with another helicopter.

I found the graphic magazine. It was called Epic Magazine.

The scene show a bunch of these Dauphins without the chopper blades up against a bunch of A-10 Warthogs.

It looks like a relatively easy build. All I need is a Dauphin or maybe the Trumpeter Coast Guard Dolphin.

The scale is too large though. I'd much rather deal with 1/72. I'd then have to get a Warthog to complete the scene.
