Hi Pascal,
I can certify that you are not a masochist or crazy!
Since I like to scratch build, I can understand very well your motives to built such an unique gem!!!
I wish you a steady hand and stay tuned with this famous project!
Since you have already made a Skycrane, I'm sure it can only get better 🙂 🙂
Thumbs up!

@Greg

I prayed it to be 1:32 but then i saw it was 1:72 and lost all my hope 😄
19 July 2013, 21:47
Pierre GARGANI
Hi Greg, yes, Alexander is right this is the revell kit in 1/72

Holger Kranich
Splendid work, congrats! Keep us posted!👍
26 July 2013, 13:36
Erik Houghton
You must be getting assistance from a hive of highly trained ants, Pierre. That is a lot of tiny detail, and very well executed. 👍
26 July 2013, 13:50

Great work on the undercarriage Pierre 👍

Beautiful work!
6 July 2014, 15:24
Bernhard Schrock
Pierre; this is unbelievable what you have done on the skycrane!!!!
"I will appreciate any comments and critics". Criticism? What do you mean, Pierre? I'm enjoying each of the pictures, especially the 3 last of the rotor head, and hope for more "on the bench" pictures". Thanks for sharing.
6 July 2014, 18:19
Pierre GARGANI
Bernhard: Comming from the mad guy who built from A to Z the fantastic NH-3A I really enjoy this nice com!

Glass windows, masking, painting, decaling, weathering, wheels and then final assembly ?

Pierre GARGANI
Thank to all for the kind comments. This build is (very) slowly progressing...almost all the small parts are ready, I'm just waiting to have enough time at home to start the painting process.
I'll update the post as soon as I 've made significant progress!!
23 February 2015, 16:19

This really is the crown of modelmaking. You make us all look like blacksmiths 🙂.

gorby
Unbelievable!!!!!!!! I've seen many astounding models on SM, but I think that this may be the best I've seen yet! I built this kit about forty years ago and has remained my favourite helicopter. The model I ended up with, from the same kit, was a million miles away from your masterpiece.
23 December 2016, 15:26
Łukasz Gliński
That is soooooo cool, immediately makes me wanna have one too
23 December 2016, 16:03
Holger Kranich
This is jaw-droppin´, Pierre! I saw some cool other skycranes in the past but this one plays in the most upper league!
23 December 2016, 16:10
Bernhard Schrock
Pierre: just in time in my opinion as THE BEST SCM MODEL OF THE 2016!!! Please more close up pictures!!!
23 December 2016, 16:34
D N
Well that's awesome! What did you do to the nose? I've always found that the nose and glass for this kit wasn't right. And your rhinoplasty came out well! I'm very curious about this, because I've got one in my stash awaiting its turn as well...
23 December 2016, 16:57
John Dunbar
This is too much! 👍 You are obviously crazy. 😉
23 December 2016, 18:10

Since it's abolutely impossible to build details like that in 1/72, it's time to reveal the obvious: You were able to invent and build a shrink ray !😮
23 December 2016, 18:19
Alexander Grivonev
Seriosly, that's insane....are you professionally involved with these helicopters somehow? That's probably the only way you could get enough background information for such a level of detail...and could you estimate how many working hours you spent on it? Thanks and again...hats off
23 December 2016, 18:29
Pierre GARGANI
Hi Bernhard, in the category "the ever longest f.@x§g project I was stupid enough to start" maybe..I'm glad you like it, it's the best award I can have!
Flynn, like almost 100% of this build, the complete front including clear parts were scrathed built and/or vacuformed. Thanks for the comments gents and meery Xmas to all!
23 December 2016, 18:33
Marc A.
Pierre, that is Absolutly Gorgeous!!! I really love the way you work on the models and the amount of details is awesome!! Congratulation this this one too and have great Merry Christmas!!

Congratulation it is truly stupendous. Five years, good god, what is next on your agenda after that???
31 December 2016, 17:24
Pierre GARGANI
Hi Scott
Thanks for the comment. At the moment I don't know yet which helo will be next, I hesitate between taking some rest with a "modern" kit (Mil-Mi 17 Hobby Boss but converted to Mi-17Z2 with Ciro resin parts) or once agai updating an old kit (Belvedere, Rotodyne, Bo-105 etc etc). Inspiration will tell! I simply cannot build OOB!!!
Happy New year!!!
31 December 2016, 18:48
Lex Jassies
(I simply cannot build OOB!!!). Haunted by the after market ghost, and scratch (build) where it itches!? Very recognizable 😉 Also a Happy New Year!

I remember seeing this quite some time ago and thought it was amazing! I did an Erickison version some time ago with a lot of scratch building but you took it even further great detail on the engine/transmission setup. Looks fantastic! 🙂

The metal pins for the rotor blades, are those for rotating the rotor blades, or just for support?
8 June 2019, 07:55

Interesting photo with the foam in a box. I bought an Ikea drawer for keeping multiple unfinished builds ready in that drawer, but I think I should try get a thin foam mat and put it at the bottom of each drawer. Ikea product: ikea.com/no/no/p/ale..-hjul-hvit-40196241/

Holy fire fighters Batman. !!! How to get me glued to my monitor for a couple of hours. !
I have seen them in action and the sounds and smell were wonderful. This would look good sitting on the desk of the relative fire fighters office some where in Italy............FOR SURE. 👍 👍 👍 👍

This build predates my time here, and my own subsequent return to this hobby. So all new to me. Just WOW! I can't really add anything else can I. It's all been rightly already said... Loved the album and am in awe of your skill and work 👏👏👏👏 and it's 1:72!!!

This is breathtaking. I just finished the same kit - and didn´t even start to bother about improving anything, since the details are so awful. The amount of work you put into this is insane! Hats off, you truly are a modeling master.
17 August 2023, 11:31
Rui S
Excellent work 👍
17 August 2023, 13:38
David R. Meizoso
Out of this world modelling. I always wonder, with such massive scratch works: do you follow blueprints for the big parts such as the legs, or just take the original parts for overall dimensions, angles, etc? It usually takes me quite a lot of time searching for reliable blueprints, and this is not always a fruitful effort.
Have to get myself a vacform machine soon 😉
Congrats on this fantastic piece of art!
17 August 2023, 14:28

Just beautiful.

What I would give to see the ICM mob put out a fire fighting version of their sky crane.
I am so envious . !!!
This is a stunning rendition of what this beast has turned into over the years. 👍
A superb job. You must be really pleased and proud of the result. !
Well done. 👍 😉

Commented 10 years ago, commenting again. This is among the most impressive modeling I have ever seen. This level of masochism is scary and I hope the creator is doing well...👍
