Saddam's worst nightmare 

by Danny Coremans

--------------------

Silly Week 2008

 

Here are pictures of a model I built about 15 years ago.

This creation is a mix of two kits which I was about to trash at that time, a cheap Italeri Apache and an Airfix skeleton which I had already built when I was a teenager.  I had those almost in the trash when I decided to have some fun: and Saddam's worst nightmare was born...

Saddam was rebuilt from the scuba diver which was included with the Airfix "Apollo" Seaking, and the pilots' heads were switched with scratchbuild skulls (there's one also on top of the rotor) 

The decals were made with a Xerox machine, one which could also print with red inks (a novelty at that time).

I hope you like it
