That's exactly what I was hoping to do with my TRU "C-130".

Thanks guys. I did this to show that you don't need much room or a complex setup to take diorama photos. If not for the loose sand I could have done this indoors on my workbench. :)

That looks suitably badass. :)

Alternate views of my prospective banner entries. Here's a behind-the-scenes look. As you can see, what's in the pics is pretty much all I set up. A halogen work lamp is the sun (not needed if the actual sun is out :p ), and a small pile of sand is the entire desert. A wide paintbrush...

PM sent to Jesse.

Man, that is awesome. :)

Agreed. Finally, a use for those cheesy ROC laser pistols! :)

Same, but the only way that'll happen is if I buy one more helo, then I'll have TWO with symmetrical loadouts. :) I'll only need a few numbers from it; you're welcome to the rest when I'm done.

I think so. I got a couple of PLA figure sets a few months ago with Melvin's help, and the guns were a Type 97 with drum mag and scope, and Type 95s with different attachments (grenade launcher, bayonet). I posted pics when I got them, but now I can't seem to find them. EDIT: Found it...

I rarely see these in Aus, and they're usually AU$35 or more...

Forum member Melvin helped me obtain this from China recently (US$89 shipped to Australia). It's the World Peacekeepers Z-9W rocket chopper from M&C Toys/Puzzle Animation Studio. A bit of background: The Zhi-9 (Z-9) army utility helicopter is a license-built version of the Aérospatiale (now...

I know such services do exist for customizers, I remember an older issue of FineScale Modeler magazine where a guy had a custom photoetch pattern made (for an aircraft carrier, I believe). Sadly I don't have it anymore, I donated all my old books and magazines before moving to Australia.

Trust you to ask that kind of question. :D

Is it much more expensive to photo-etch brass or aluminum into buckle sets?

I have a couple of PASGT-type helmets (Chinese PTE) that could be useful, but they're moulded in a flexible rubbery vinyl which might be difficult to make a master of.

Maybe a hint of clear red? That's looking fantastic as it is. :)

I have 2 of those heads, and I've done almost the same thing to make my own Bombstrike. Great minds do think alike!

That's what I'm talking about! You could try turning down the opacity on the smoke layer, but that's a great start!

Eddie will kiss it and make it all better.
