Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This model is made in a 50 cl container. and reproduces the "A W 112" helicopter, recently manufactured by "Loenardocompany.com", an Italian company which exports to many countries and which, with the appropriate variants and modifications, is also used both for military use and also for civil and emergency use. The A 112 is currently in production at the assembly plant in Vergiate in the province of Varese (Italy) and at the AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation (AWPC) in the USA. The main technical characteristics of the model are given by the support surface which thanks to its extreme precision I was able to fix at the right height in the container and this allowed me to keep the model as large as possible by positioning it in the central part of the bottle. A second important feature is given by the transparent plastic that forms the cabin and that allowed me to simulate the transparency of the glass thus highlighting the interior spaces of the plane.
