my hind diorama project

[froymot]

hey guys, my name's Tom i'm 17 and ive been modeling for about 2 years, this is the current project
its going to be a 1:35th hind flying over a woodish area with a burned out and run down t-72


i'm going to try a trick i saw on armorama for the trees: http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=2626

not much left to do for the hind, paint and attach the rotors. i'm using tape to gently bend them a bit to get the mid flight look and was wondering iff any one had any ideas to get them to stay curved after i take the tape off.

Hiya Tom!!! Nice little Dio you have going on there!! BTW, thanks the fro "tree" link...definitely a cool idea.

 

[fumblethumbs]

Looking awesome Tom. Who's the Hind kit by? Your dio base is really looking great.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely off to an excellent start there, Tom

Ok.... I remember some of this..... Cool Idea about the Forced Perspective Diorama....

anyway.... Rotors....

when a Hind is Parked ! the rotors look like this... some Droop but nothing major...

and in flight it might look like this.... Cruising along...

Lifting off you might see a little more "inverted Dip"... if I can use that term ? (load)

so... don't be too concerned about your Rotor curving... Less is more !!!


It's a beautiful kit you have there.... Keep up the good work

[Junkie]

Cool! You sure put alot of work into this.

 

[TRM]

Ahh, you made some nice progress!!! Keep it going!! Look around for some clear styrene rod for the Hind support. Either way it works nicely!!!

 

[Myke]

Super creative dio! Love the idea and execution!

 

[Quaralane]

Base is looking sharp

 

[Igard]

Awesome! I love that base. 8)

Could just be your avatar, but this kind of reminds me of a 'Fallout' type scenario.
