Continuing with the Black Hawk Down theme, I figure I should add this to the thread. :)

Thanks, but I really need to repaint them (or at least weather them up). :)

clean and crisp works for them though. Sometimes a good clean look is more menacing, like Stormtroopers or the police with gas masks in Christian Bale's Equilibrium. These guys remind me of the cops from Equilibrium just with a touch of grey.

Yeah, probably not a good idea to fire a TOW launcher in an enclosed space...


"What are you morons doing with that TOW launcher in an enclosed space???"

I call it, "Still Life With Oil Drums". :D

I'm annoyed at the shitty pics, though. I used to be able to take awesome pics with my 12MP phone camera. I guess it's been dropped too many times...

And the other guy, right next to him, already has "steeled" himself, now is jerking off. :)

Great pictures, the third is my fav. What are they sitting in?

Man, if that one shoulder joint wasn't visible, and the sheen was taken off those guys, it would look totally real...nice shot man

They're in my TRU/Chap Mei "C-130". I took the roof off and covered the hole with red paper, then shone a light through.

And the result is awesome!
I have just asked it, because i have a similar thing in my mind, but i don't have a proper aircraft.

:thumbsup: solid work, Fled. great posing on duke, he looks nervous and concerned. The light from the door gives a special touch of realism.

OK, so here's how I did my banner entry:

Balcony made of cardboard and craft sticks, quickly thrown together with a crapload of tape on the hidden side. Plain white cardboard backdrop. The "scaffolding" at the top is an old ladder I made a while back, out of craft sticks and toothpicks.


Backlit, with my kitbashed Somali figure in place.


BBI Blackhawk on a plain backdrop of big white cardboard sheets (and a roll of paper towels for a stand).


Combined in Photoshop with smoke effects, background building flats, spinning rotors, and hand-drawn RPG round.



Here's the movie scene I was trying to emulate. Close enough is good enough for me. :)

damn dude, that is fantastic! Creative as hell! I cant believe it was that simple.
Click to expand...

Well, I wouldn't say "simple". :D

I took about 8 shots of the balcony setup and about 15 shots of the chopper just to get one or two usable pics.

I suppose the final shot is doable "in camera" with little or no post-processing, but I have neither the space, equipment, or time to even attempt it. :)

A few shots of my 1/9 scale Retro-Action Ghostbusters.





I replaced Janine's poorly-articulated Mattel body with an aftermarket one from Zica Toys, and the difference in poseability, balance, and expressiveness is like night and day.



No stand or Blu-tac under the foot to keep upright - it's all her.

Just had to take these shots of my just-acquired Kotobukiya 1/9 Aerith Gainsborough and Cloud Strife (no, not the racist dude!), two of my favourite video game characters ever.






Yeah, I'm a big softie. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. :)

Aeris is gonna be pissed!

What do you mean? That is Aerith, in her Crisis Core iteration. :)
I was outbid on a Tifa figure too, so I'm on the hunt for another one (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg).

And yeah, it's spelled Aerith (with a "th", to sound similar to "Earth"), confirmed by Square Enix. Early English translations of the game misspelled her name. :)
