The C-130 is one of the most versatile and most easily recognizable aircraft ever produced. During the almost 60 years of its production run, it has been manufactured in numerous variants, and has served in countless roles, including military and civilian airlift, surveillance, airborne command and control, gunship, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, aerial firefighting, and search and rescue.
There is even a ski-equipped version of the Hercules, for operations in arctic conditions.The particular version of the Hercules represented in this project is a US Coast Guard HC-130, which is an extended range maritime search-and-rescue variant. The Coast Guard operates these aircraft from a number of strategically placed air stations in the United States, including, most notably, the one at Kodiak, Alaska.The Coast Guard version of the HC-130 has several modifications that aid in search and rescue operations, including a pair of large windows below the cockpit to allow the crew to visually scan the sea surface and a 360-degree surface search radar. It is operated by a crew of 7, who perform functions such as dropping life rafts or spraying dispersant to help control oil spills.The dimensions of the model are approximately 58 studs long (46.4 cm. / 18.3 in.) and 79 studs wide (63.2 cm. / 24.9 in.) -- roughly equivalent in size to the Buffalo Airways / Ice Pilots DC-3 (which you should definitely support if you have any interest in aircraft, and if you're looking at this project proposal, the odds are that you do).
I have chosen to construct some of the iconic Coast Guard markings (such as the diagonal stripe on the front of the fuselage) from bricks, rather than using stickers, since it is my personal preference to do it that way, but a productized version of this idea could definitely use stickers instead. If the LEGO production staff were to go in that direction, the part count could be lowered slightly and it would be possible to represent the markings with more detail.The next picture shows the HC-130 from the rear. As can be seen, the model has functional cargo bay doors, which work in a manner very similar to the way the real ones do. The cargo door is split into upper and lower halves, with the lower half opening downward to form the ramp, while the upper half opens upward until it is almost flush with the top of the fuselage. This detail isn't always represented correctly in models of this aircraft. In the final picture, we see an HC-130 making a low pass over the US Coast Guard Cutter Reliance (the cutter is not part of this project, but it makes for a good scene).

After obsessions with Thomas the Tank Engine, Disney’s Cars and the sea creatures from BBC’s Blue Planet series, he has turned all of his attention to the iconic Danish bricks. His love of Lego has seen a Tribble-like explosion into all corners of the house. We have handed out Lego at his birthday, when he graduated from Junior Kindergarten and just because as in just because he pleaded so much at Walmart and the promise of a quiet play date was just too tempting. Of course, Zachary’s Christmas wish list consisted almost entirely of Lego. For the most part, I like having a kid who’s Lego-obsessed. I’m always pleased at the rapturous approval I get from other parents when I tell them about Zachary’s passion.
Lego is seen as creative, educational, great for developing fine motor skills, and there’s a whiff of nostalgia about it all. But I’ve been following the current debate over the evolution (some argue devolution) of Lego. And I’ve begun to wonder. Is there a dark side to the “wunder” toy? Do creativity and imaginative play still rest at the heart of the Lego experience? Or have marketing ploys and bossy instructions squeezed the joy right out? Give a Lego box even a cursory glance, and you’ll see things aren’t what they used to be. Pieces now come in colors like chartreuse, and shapes such as skeletons, monsters and space missiles. There are bombs, evil villains, and every sort of teeny, tiny weapon. According to Time magazine, change came by necessity. In 1998, the Lego Group posted its first ever losses and then sales dwindled for years. In 2004, the company reported a $374 million loss but also enacted a drastic turnaround plan. This involved more Lego sets with lucrative tie-ins including more of the Star Wars line first introduced in 1999, Batman in 2006, Indiana Jones in 2008 and a series of videogames.
On the business end, the company drastically cut its work force and outsourced packaging and production to Eastern Europe and Mexico. The plan worked: In 2006, the Lego Group boasted $281 million in profit and sales have been robust ever since. The current backlash against Lego was stoked by Michael Chabon’s recent book, Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son. Re-connecting with Lego while playing with his four children, Chabon found himself chafing at “the authoritarian nature of the new Lego” and its “provided solution.” What Chabon and other parents I know object to is the corporate branding and rigid instructions provided in the sets, which, they argue, stanch imagination and discourage the construction of random, teetering creations. This might be true but it hasn’t hurt sales; parents are buying more Lego than ever. “Even as other toymakers struggle, this Danish maker of toy bricks is enjoying double-digit sales gains and swelling earnings,” said a September article in the New York Times.
Amidst the clash of messages, adult fans of Lego (or AFOLs as they call themselves) have attempted to bring some clarity. Roy T. Cook, a professor of philosophy at the University of Minnesota and one of 14 officially sanctioned Lego ambassadors in the U.S., posted a response to Chabon on an AFOL blog. Cook calls Chabon’s essay a “significant contribution to the debates about the nature and role of LEGO as a medium.” However, the real question, insists Cook, is whether the changes to Lego “constitute an improvement, in that it gives creators more resources with which to carry out their creative projects, or is it regressive, eliminating many of the challenges which creators need to overcome or circumvent challenges which, when overcome, result in superior creations?” I think the kvetching about corporate influence and lost creativity is overblown. (Even Chabon told the LA Times, “: I recognize the possibility that I might be overstating my objections.”) I don’t know what’s so bad about by-the-book construction.
My son is five years old. If he wants to sit for three hours and painstakingly put together a new Mars Mission ETX Alien Infiltrator, I’m in that kind of focus on anything is admirable. I also don’t think Zachary’s commitment to building using the instructions signals a surrender to corporate designs. He’s simply learning to build. As Chabon points out in his essay, inevitably, all Lego construction ends up a fantastic, crumbled “stew” anyway. The pieces get mashed together and something new rises up every day: the Lego camper morphs into a rock monster-mobile. Indiana Jones dresses up like a pirate. I can appreciate the critiques. And, with our overflowing bins, and a stream of new releases, I wonder how much more of the stuff we need. Yet, it became clear to me recently which camp we’ve joined. Just before Christmas, Zachary and I were in a small toy store pondering Lego sets. Beside us a woman dismissed the towering wall of options and huffed at a clerk: “I want a set with bricks.
