I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring once again. :) For your consideration: EDIT: I changed the composition to allow for the logo, and reuploaded it.

A Cobra diver plants a shaped charge on a freighter carrying secret cargo.

Stopping on a bluff overlooking the vast trackless desert, Echo Team disembarks to search for any sign of their friends. "Flint's signal came from down there," Spyral said, "before the beacon faded out." "Question is, did it just fade out... or was it shut off?" T-Bone replied...

Here's mine. The background is a painting I finished this afternoon (acrylic on canvas) of a simple desert landscape. I spread some sand on the low table, with the painting on the easel about 8 inches behind it.

Here's my poorly-thought-out banner entry. :)

Living in the heart of suburbia means very limited access to real-world locations for my dio shoots, especially ones involving water. So I decided to try making a miniature beach in my backyard. I built a rectangular frame out of PVC pipe (about 3'x4') and laid it flat on the concrete, then...

I found this WWD "Ultimate Gorgon" at a TRU in Melbourne on the weekend for AU$49, and holy crap it's a cool toy. Sorry for the lousy phone pics; I'll take better ones soon. It "only" has 14 points of articulation, but these give it an excellent range of motion. My only 2 gripes are that...

It's been so long since I did a diorama, I've gotten rusty. I started setting this up on the dinner table around 11pm last night, thinking it wouldn't take too long, but by the time I finished taking photos and taking the set apart I could hear birds chirping (not a good sign). It was 5am and...

I'd been meaning to do this for a long while now, and a recent PM inquiry from DarthDre reminded me. Anyway, here's a quick way to add rain to your photos, like this: Honestly, taking screengrabs and describing the steps took much longer than making the above image. I used Photoshop 7, but...

Found this yesterday - made specifically with modelers in mind. You can customize brick colours and patterns, and yes, you can specify 1/18 scale patterns. It generates a PDF which you can save, and then print off at your leisure. It's free, but donations are welcome...

I re-watched The Avengers yesterday, and Black Widow's throwaway line to Hawkeye about Budapest got my imagination going with a dozen "what-if" scenarios. So I did a quick little setup on my workbench, snapped a few photos, and here's the poorly-conceived crossover result. It's a steaming...

An artist in Brazil has created an incredibly detailed replica of Monica's apartment from Friends, entirely out of paper. http://www.neatorama.com/2013/06/12/Incredibly-Detailed-Papercraft-Model-of-the-Apartment-from-Friends/ Judging by the photos on her Flickr page, I'd estimate...

Unpainted, but still, it's freaking awesome! http://www.geenemodels.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_67&product_id=101 There are a few 1/15 scale resin dinos on the site, as well as smaller-scale ones.

I posted this WIP pic last week: Did quite a bit more work on it over the weekend. Airbrushed with a mix of Tamiya Olive Drab and bit of Khaki Drab, then clearcoated. Still not sure about the armament. Here are the anti-tank missile tubes it came with. M260 FFAR pod from the PTE AH-6...

I threw this together in about 30 minutes, in the wee hours of the morning (1:30 am or so). It's meant to be SFC Randy Shughart - for my dio series based on Black Hawk Down. The ROC Duke head is a stand-in until I can find a better one. Body is a repainted ROC Jungle Ripcord, rolled-up...

Update on my commissioned Scarlett. Nearly there now! .

The world had suddenly gone to shit. Super Six-One spun wildly out of control, its tail rotor destroyed by an RPG. They were descending rapidly, and the best efforts of pilots "Elvis" Wolcott and "Bull" Briley did little to forestall the inevitable. In the back of the chopper, Delta SSG Dan...

Besides the Marauder M-14 EBR, is there a more "traditional" M-14 available in 1/18? Maybe with a Vietnam-era figure? I'm in the middle of making Delta snipers Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon, and SFC Shughart needs a weapon. If one isn't available, I'll have to cut up a Marauder one and...

First off, let me apologise for the long delay in creating this tutorial. I blame Max Payne 3 and Grand Theft Auto 4 for being too damn addictive. Anyway, here goes. Blood has always been a distasteful subject, but during the course of diorama photography and the pursuit of greater realism...

Just thought I'd post all my random dio pics in one thread to keep things organised, which includes the older pics I've posted in the One-Shot thread. Any single shots which relate to a photo series will have a link to the relevant thread. Anyway, here we go...
