We wanted to represent the wide scope of missions and uses of the helicopter. Going with the fade allowed us to also produce a more artistic over all feel with the background too. With the subtleness of the fade, most people don't even notice the ""Blackhawk medevac" side until they walk to the inside of the display room. Then they see the Katrina/Michael rescue scenes behind it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Why did you go with a split theme on the appearance of the helicopter? With the subtleness of the fade, most people don't even notice the ""Blackhawk medevac" side until they walk to the inside of the display room. Then they see the Katrina/Michael rescue scenes behind it. I think it adds to it. Very impressive project |

Ive got the HMX-1 flag in the case and hopefully have the certificate frame stained to match.
If they dont close down the school for floor refinish, I might be able to get in there later in the week and get them hung up. |

That's awesome!
Round these parts, it's only 3 or 4 weeks till school starts. We need some kind of system wide AR15.com alert when you start the new project thread. |

Little update today.
It's been the question of the day to me for many over the last few months, and I've stressed enough about it this summer, but I had an epiphany last night before bed, and now have the basic idea for the next project. ![]() It's amazing what it's done to my attitude about the upcoming year. I've been dreading the start of classes in a few weeks, but now I'm looking forward to it. ![]() As many of you know already, our spaces are limited, and one of our last build areas is next to the Agricultural and Robotics classrooms. They approached me last year about building there, and are supportive of the idea, but want it related to their classrooms. Thats been the tough part. Building a tractor is not the most exciting idea to me, but with some suggestions from many of you, I think I've got a base idea that is going to be exciting and very relevant to my students and current events. There will be a tractor featured, but the environment will morph from our local WY fields, to the Martian landscape. No we won't be saving Matt Damon ![]() So there it is. ![]() |

It's some sort of fundamental law of nature or something. Add in Mars as a backdrop, the hardware store might wonder why needed 20 gallons of various reddish brown colors. Reminds me of something...

Had a good laugh today. I may have heard this before and posted about it, but I don't remember. I was checking on the wire that connects the door to the chain, and pushed the "program stop" switch. When I was done and turned it all back in, Jabba The Hut started laughing at me.
![]() It was pretty funny. Our Robotics/valedictorian has quite the sense of humor. ![]() |
