Very well done that man. You've done very well mate. A most impressive play house for the kids and the camo is just right ;D I would suggest the black roundels as per NH90 / UH1. As to how well am sure some of the S&S crowd will come with ideas. The serial would have to be NZ3300 wouldn't it ;D ;D

TNZ - thanks for the vid - nicely produced too. Nice details with the build too - handles to grab when climbing in, a neat pilot seat for two (or three), the enclosure and camo and the slide!! Great for summer, oh bother, it's autumn now... Nice job!

Agree with both Beagles and Raymonds comments. They'd most definitely have to be a must do. ;D

I sent them a pic from my work email addy of it after getting hassled to do it by work colleagues. Thought nothing would come of it and then 5 days later a phone call arrives.... They were very keen to do a story. |
