discussion Blackhawk down

[Guest]

A little diorama i threw together over the last week for my partner.

Elaine rates this as one of her all time favorite films.

So, with a little artistic licence, i present Italeris' 1/48 chopper (hmmm) and airfix 1/48 afganistan figures (yuk)

Polystyrene board base, balsa buildings, reptile sand for substrate, a wrecked 1/43 diecast VW beetle and all painted in acrylics with the hairy stick.

How about a crowd of `Skinnies` on the roof tops blatting away with their AK`s.

 

[mossiepilot]

Nice one Colin, I havn't seen this film, fantasy and Sci-fi is more my bag, but after seeing this I'll put it on my must see list.

5 big ones mate.

Tony.

 

[Guest]

Nicely done Colin!

 

[Guest]

thanks very much for the comments chaps.

its well worth watching as a film tony, maybe not 100% historically correct but what war film is to be honest.

Elaine's hinting for another already with the ideas mentioned ... dammit

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

How about the choppers raining fire on the rooftops , add a little flashing diode for the strobe marker

Or the stadium marshelling point, all those AFV's

 

[yak face]
