GA-8
« on: March 10, 2019, 04:50:10 PM »
After spending time at the Avalon show as a guest of Mahindra I figured I should make a model of one of their products. ( OK - so I've been skulking around the Traralgon factory since Gippsearo was a family affair and have been watching the GA8 since inception so admittedly I had a bit of a leg up on access to designs etc )
A bit of rendering courtesy of my favourite slicer, a couple of hours on the 3D magic machine, another couple hours on the bench getting chemically high, a little time in the spray booth and...





Later in the year I'll make some desktop models and a proper 1/32 one will follow when I get a moment.

Very nice!

Too bad its not real world, Army Aviation could really do with something like that, affordable, capable and would give them the critical mass to actually become more professional overall.

Nice work!  Have to agree, white is never good unless you are trying to hide something in the snow. :)
