From ClintB - 20mm Medevac Helicopter (23 points)

And as I continue to finish off my 20mm Vietnam project, just a couple more options to go which may get done in the Challenge. Firstly let me say Tamsin is NOT the flight attendant and Dave is NOT the nurse on this flight. And Frequent flyer miles will not be issued.

So what we have is a Revell 1/72nd scale Medevac Huey with Britannia Crew. Along with Pilot and co Pilot there are also a medical orderly/doctor a casualty and load master acting as security! They are all purchased as part of the medevac crew from Britannia. Slightly chunky but full of character. They also do a dead body with a ground sheet covering him (see my "Epic Fail" Bonus round entry) unfortunately it was a bit too crowded to squeeze them all in (That means someone has bound to have done it well).

It seems to me it is only in Modern wargames that casualties are vital to the game. No one worries how many Romans die for example in an ancient game. And that for e makes modern games very interesting (feel free to disagree) but not only are you trying to win the game but also do it without taking casualties.

This model was a BIG pain to finish. The kit went together well enough apart from me getting glue on the windows at every opportunity. But as it was over 10 years old (most of us have kits like that) the decals pretty mush disintegrated when applied or in one case just flaked off!  Still whinge over, I painted on two of the crosses but had to leaf a few decals off. That does not bother me as it is for wargaming and not display. If you look closely you can see the two red crosses I had to paint so please don't look closely. I know my club members well enough to know they will be happy if/when it turns up.

I have recently started using "Disposable" plastic wine glasses as flying stands as they are 8 for £1, are light and easy to store and transport and easy to replace. Also they can straddle a lot of terrain items and troops on the table so I would recommend their use if you do not already do so.

Lovely work Clint. Good idea about using disposable wine glasses for flight stands - nice and cheap and who doesn't like that?As for scoring, you've got the chopper at 12 points and five crew/casualty figures at 2 points each (half points for prone/seated).giving you a total of 22 points. I'm going to add an extra point though for the wine glass.
