These are the interior parts. The flight deck, cargo floor, engine components and mini-guns for the side windows. Using the guns that come with the Tomahawk, I cut the gun from the mount and left a small platform on which to mount the Marauder mini-guns. I left part of the cargo deck in tact behind the seats and drilled holes so the gun mounts could be mounted.
I had planned on using the regular cargo deck for the inside, but I can't cut straight lines for crap with my Xacto saw (see first picture), so I made a template out of card board that would cover the whole area. Using that template, I cut out the shape in styrene and used the card back from a figure for some strength to the styrene, as regular cardboard was just a bit too thick for what I wanted.

Here it is after the primary painting has been applied. I still need to go back and touch up a few missed spots.

Here is the side with the removable cover. I used some more cardstock from a figure card back and lined the edge of the opening. The Green Stuff was applied to this lining instead of the fuselage itself (like on the other side), this way the side can be removed. I also made a small half door for the lower part of the crew door. I need to get some more thin wire and I can make a bit of a hinge so it'll fold down and act as a ladder to board the helo. You can see the top of the gun mount poking up over the top of the half door.

Here's the interior. I removed the winch from the bottom and Gorilla Glued it to the overhead in the cargo area so the guys can fast rope through the Hell Hole. I have a couple of plans to add some seats. You can see the port side gun mount by the front window.

Couple pictures with a Tomahawk and custom Tigerfly

I still have a few more things to add, add some dull coat, custom decals and few other items.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
