Okay then, moving on! I mentioned in the Retail Sightings thread about finally getting my hands on one of those Oxford Military blocks sets from my lhs. I had reported that the dark olive green was not an exact match to the Kreo, but I am pleased to show you the subtle differences in these next few photos of my retouched Kreo Dragonfly. Gone are all the Light Olive Green pieces! No more of those Yellow pieces either! =D I added some height to the skids by adding black 1x2 plates at each leg attachment. The rotor blades are now 1x12's instead of the stock 1x10's Can you tell what all of the Dark Olive Green pieces are not Kreo? Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-29-2017 at 11:14 PM.. |

Hey thanks to all you guys! It really helps knowing you all are still out there ;)
Okay, so I mentioned about having that Oxford Military set with the Little Bird and the Jeep. I've removed the top and left the back open, like most Army Jeeps I've seen. I'm actually pretty fond of the Jeep now, and don't really want to take it apart at this point. So the Little Bird was the one that I scrapped, in order to get some pieces freed up. I was goofing around with all the leftover pieces and came up with this tiny helo. I won't keep it together because of my need for those pieces; but I wanted to take some shots of it before I dismantled the thing. Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-29-2017 at 11:54 PM.. |

I also started subbing-in greys and dark grey pieces in my Kreo Rotor Rage helo, freeing up some more of the Dark Olive Green pieces (and some more tan too)
I used some of my many extra Wolverine set missiles (with rocket bases added) to add some armament to this Ole' Rust Bucket! I know it looks like a hot mess at the moment, but it will start looking better the more orange and tan I change out Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-29-2017 at 11:59 PM.. |

Dragonfly Day 2:
Some words: I found a fairly large windshield staring at me from my incomplete F4 Phantom, that I will borrow until I get that perfect looking one (that geewunner's version uses), or the one from the Oxford Military - Apache Attack Helicopter and now some pics: before: after: Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-30-2017 at 12:25 AM.. |

Hey thanks for checking it out! I've realized the tail section is completely wrong in it's placement because of it mounted so high. Someone else mentioned to me that with some modifactions in a different direction, this could turn out to look like a passable Retaliator. I suppose it does kind of look like it...Hmm...

Well no matter, because I have gone through and started straightening this model out some more already.
Here's: Dragonfly - Session 3: Dang! I didn't notice Airborne's missing goggles until now. Doh! So this is what I've got for now. How did I do so far? Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-30-2017 at 12:39 AM.. |

Okay so I wanted to try to show the slight color differences in between the Kreo and Sluban brands. The pictures don't show up well, but I'm hoping you guys can see the difference.
Obviously the one with the "M38" stampings on the studs are the Sluban, but can you also tell which piece is Oxford and not Kreo? Right, and like the old shampoo commercials used to say, "If you can't tell why should we?" ;) Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-30-2017 at 12:42 AM.. |

Okay well maybe it still does look like a hot mess, but at least I freed up some tan and dark olive pieces! ;) Last edited by stealthy slim; 11-30-2017 at 12:46 AM.. |
