So, how's that Gyrocopter working out for Gaslands, I hear you ask? Pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Part one of this build is back here.
I turned the buggy into a trike and put missiles on the forward wheel spokes. There's a mine dropper on the side and a machine gun mounted forward. Given the gyro is a converted buggy, this would need to drive a long straight template first to give it enough forward momentum and lift to get airborne. That makes it vulnerable in scenarios where the vehicle is on the ground initially.
I only had a clear flat base that I could use for the rotors being in motion. From a distance, the writing on the base doesn't hinder the aesthetic of the vehicle and it looks like it's in flight. If I find a better clear base somewhere, I may replace this one.
The flight stand itself is made from a few Star Trek Attack Wing base segments and can be added to or reduced depending upon what takes my fancy at the time. But the flight stand has a magnetic top to hold the gyro in place.
Looks nasty enough. Now to get a game of Gaslands Refuelled going so I can give it a try out.
