The Skycranes, or “derricks of the sky”, can and have carried pretty much anything that doesn’t exceed their payload capacity. Their tasks during Vietnam included: vehicle transport (trucks and other lighter, wheeled vehicles), fuselage salvage and recovery, makeshift bomber (could carry the 10,000 lb “daisy cutter” bomb for clearing jungle), carring “Brown Water Navy” boats, troops, field hospitals, command posts, artillery pieces, etc. The Skycranes salvaged 380 downed aircraft during the Vietnam War, saving $210 million.
In civil use, the S-64s are still a powerful and irreplaceable heavy-lifter. They install high-voltage powerline towers, lift AC units onto highrises, fight wildfires, install antennas on broadcast towers, aid in the restoration of the Statue of Freedom, and many other things.
The model:
Features - detailed cockpit with opening doors (easily accessible), working main winch, 4 external hooks, geared rotors, stowable blades, blade holders, cargo pod with technic motor and battery box for motorization (I’ll have to design some more cargo pods in Studio that actually have a detailed interior)
The stickers are from various Brickmania Huey sticker packs. I also based the main rotor design on the Brickmania CH-53E (which was derived from the Skycrane irl) main rotor. It’s generally the same technique, but I had to do some troubleshooting to get it down to 6 blades instead of 7.
Well, this was a really fun aircraft to design and then motorize. I really needed this to get my confidence and motivation back for going into my long term ship projects this summer. I hope I can get this in Studio soon so I can maybe release the instructions for reaching 5k followers (on Instagram). Oh, and instructions of my other models are very close to being ready on Rebrickable. I’ll have more info soon.

As a keen enthusiast of their blue white and orange, I was really annoyed at Stagecoach for doing their usual of swooping in and annihilating what was Strathtay. In fairness to them, Stagecoach have kept the name Stagecoach Strathtay for vehicles operating in their former area, however seeing any buses with the name on the side is increasingly rare. But, these things happen and Yorkshire Traction willingly sold so... I’ve finally added to my Stagecoach Strathtay fleet. Whereas previously it was formed of only SP06EGK & MX55 KOW - both Code 2 (specifically commissioned) Creative Master Northcord models, it gains a further CMNL model in the MPD Dart which had its destination and Stagecoach Manchester lettering removed and replaced. A second MPD of Stagecoach West Scotland remains as it arrived and joins that fleet of models. UWW7X and DBV100W both Leyland Olympians join the fleet from S/coach Swindon & Ribble respectively. The MPD Dart is showing service 39 from Montrose to Dundee with the Olympians showing services 44 to Eliots Park (Caravan Site) in Arbroath, and service 20 from Kirriemuir town centre to Dundee’s Seagate Bus Station (registered legal address of Strathtay Scottish Omnibuses.

Second model of three new recovery vehicles that I'm building, this Scania has been in my box of assorted models waiting for me to decide what to use it for. As I'm having a rest from building emergency vehicles a new set of recovery vehicles would make a nice change. The third model is going to be a Volvo Boniface recovery truck. All the water-slide decals for the model are designed and printed in my workshop.
