WOW!! Outstanding job! I love it! [tup][tup]
Really nice work so far, I’m primarily a 1/72 builder so the detail of these larger scale kits is amazing.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the rotors, if you just take out the droop that should be all you need. Remember they are sitting on the ground so the weight is off the rotors, they won’t start to bend upward until the aircraft is trying to leave the ground. Perhaps you could use stretched cotton balls or that halloween spiderweb stuff on the edges of the diorama to suggest dust being kicked up.
If you don’t want to mess with the rotors (and I wouldn’t blame you after all the work you have done), as was mentioned call it a safe place. I’ve never been in the military but I did work for the fire department on an Army base, it was common for the helicopters to shut down before loading / off loading their passengers. Soldiers do get hurt in training too, so your scene would be just as appropriate for something in the US as it is for Afghanistan / Iraq.
Just have a good story in case some goob like me starts sharpshooting. Tell them that they had a tail chip light on final to the PZ. Since this was a secure area they decided to PL and pull the chip detector.[:-^]
I put these in the figure forum, but I thought some folks here might like to see them too.
Three more figures for the MEDEVAC dio.
A medic from the M997, a soldier assisting the medic by holding an IV bag.
And a wounded soldier on a stretcher.

Figures look great Pete. Can’t wait to see it all put together. Great job.

Just looked at the crew figures closely and they are very good. I haven’t seen any with good HGU-56 helmets before! I can’t wait to see evrething together.
