Barn Find - Bell 214 Helicopter (1970-1981)

Having modeled aircraft, locomotives, ships, and cars, I decided to go ahead on my journey modeling conventional transportation systems by aiming to capture another wonder of aviation, the rotorcraft. In this case, I decided to recreate the Bell 214 helicopter, focusing on ensuring that components like the rotor system and blades were modeled accurately. However, when it came time to render a scene with this model, I wanted to do it in a way that showed off the scale of these complex machines next to regular everyday objects. To flesh out the scene, prop models from polyhaven.com as well as blenderkit textures were used and modified to make it suitable for the dusty and neglected look I was going for in this hangar scene.
