Conniptions, go Here.Dave has been doing
detailed models of aircraft, automobiles,
and other replicas for a number of years
for himself and for other clients. Some
examples of his work are shown below.
Dave has done three superb Whirlybirds
models for me in both 1/35th and 1/72nd
scales, including the 1/35th scale model you see
above. One of the 1/72nd models he did
for me will be used in an upcoming
Whirlybirds hangar display I am doing.
Dave would be thrilled to do a model of
any Bell 47 helicopter you might like.
Perhaps you have an idea of one or maybe
you own one. You could have a beautiful
scale model of your actual Bell 47 if you
like. Dave will do a model for you to
your exact specifications.
If you
would like to discuss having Dave do a
model for you, just email him at dacar340@floodcity.net . He is easy to
deal with and you won't be disappointed
with the result. Tell him Lance sent you.
:-) I'll take the blame. I hope you enjoy
the pictures of David's work.
