Smooth operator

Steven Marshall -already known by LEGO lovers worldwide as the builder of amazingly realistic studless models and crisp photography- turns his attention to a new topic: a military helicopter.

The model represents the Ka-50 Black Shark (known to NATO as the Hokum). It is an amazingly detailed model that stands out not just because of being studless, but also because of the smoothness of all the shapes. It is not immediately clear from the picture, but this is actually a render. Steven has already announced that he is also building the model in real bricks and I already look forward to seeing it. Excellent work.
