I'm soon going to be starting a diorama based off of a level in COD Modern Warfare 2.

It will be based off of the level either the level Cliffhanger or Wolverines

I will be trying to sculp the upper torso of Soap Mactavish and kitbashin a M14 EBR as well a sculpting ski mask onto relaxed modern russian troops on patrol. in Cliffhanger. If I get really pished I'll scrap it and do the dio on the wolverines level, for which i would just get some modern US and Russian troops.

What I know for sure is that I will be building:

modern russian troops
a hardtop UAZ-469
a Ural truck

a few buildings

Hey Luke, ive been thinking about one of these dios too. Ive been thinking about kitbashing a Tamiya Humvee and making it into the ranger one in wolverines. I posted a thread called humvees and miniguns, theres a picture on the bottom of the page thats similar to the one where they encountered the BTR.
Hobbyfan do a range of stryker brigade and Ranger figures for the OEF and OIF time frame, i think those will be suitable for the dio, given that they are painted in ACU's. But its based on a What-If so a little artistic talent here or there wont matter.

awesome idea's guys.. look forward to seeing something come about...
I'd ask Rob or Frenchie might have some good shots of a humve with a mini on it.. might get lucky on a google search but I'd ask those chaps first..



II've been playing MW2 since release date and having a blast...if yall ever wanna game up lemme know if you've got an xbox account.. in PM and we'll hook....


but don't scap the idea bout the dio guys!!!

Chris, Will do, but first i need an Xbox or a computer that wont crash everytime i run a FPS . Luke for the m14 , maybe you could get some scopes and accesories from trumpeters new m4 ar -15 series, you could use the scope as a base to make the EBR if possible.

heres the link, but not quite sure how to make it live

Thanks and I have already acquired a bipod off of one of my WW2 MGs and sprue is going to make a nice supressor so all I need is a M14 and one of those scopes.

What is really going to stink for me in sculpting will be the jacket of Soap's. Are there any resin heads in 1:35 with a beanie/stocking cap on? It'd make it way easier to Sculpt Soap . And I don't even want to think about how many tries it'll take me to sculpt the rope wrapped around him and to scratchbuild the icepicks. as for Roach instead of trying to kitbash the silenced ACR w/ heartbeat sensor I'm going to give Roach either a silenced SA-80 or maybe a M4A1 SOPMOD.

Hey Luke, I would try Verlinden for some heads, because they have a wide range of styles. If you cant find any from them try hornet. If you dont already have it heres verlindens main site- www.verlindenoline.com
For the rope- first try to find a twine that will fit to scale, and then you can harden it to shape. That might work, but maybe not.

Overall dude...Good luck, I will certainly follow this one!

Later,
Johnathon

Chris I might just take you up on that, I got a 360 and have been playing MW2 since it came out. PM sent your way.

Later,
Johnathon

Hey Luke, Jonathon is pretty spot on about the verlinden head, they have a couple of Us OIF special forces sets that have beanie's on. For the rope, maybe you could use thin string? Theres alot of different sizes and it saves the headache of sculpting

I'm gonna do a mini dio from the first Modern Warfare. Because it is so much easier to sculpt turbans than it is a jacket.

Understandable bro, it will be alot easier, what scene will you do from the first MW?

Johnathon

Hey Luke if your gonna ditch the first idea, i have another one for the first MW. Where Captain Prices helps his former CPT. Macmillian in assasinating Zakhaev. Ive been thinking about this idea for a year or so, ive already got some stuff coming for this one.

Calvin thats a great idea! You could do a scene from the game where they are sneaking up on a russian soldier and CPT. Macmillian busts the guy in the back of the head, on thier way to the sniper building. Just an idea!

Johnathon

Jonathan are you pyschic?lol i had two ideas and that was one of em! The other was i was going to title "Take the shot!" where they shoot off zakhaevs arm with a light .50. But anyway jake sorry for hijacking your post lol.

Haha thats funny! No I just came up with the idea so i wasnt readin no minds!lol

LIke Calvin said sorry to hijack your thread!

Johnathon hope everyone was undercontrol last night!lol
I know Im feeling some aftermath!

I'm still going to do my first idea. I'm going to do the scene from the first level you playas the Marines. But if I can get some a few M14s to convert into M21s I may do one with Pirce and Mactavish sneaking by a BMP while prone.

have you has a look at blast models, they have a set of us sniper rifles in it is a m21 with bipod and cheek plate.
happy new year to everyone

If your willing to buy another gun set, then take a look at the Russian company, Tank models for some unique M4's and M16's with various attachments. Also one looks to have a separate scope which could be useful for the m14. These are listed here:

tankm4 close to the bottom.

As a small aside, Calvin I know what you mean about trying to run the game, its only my laptop that can handle it, the desktop is way to slow. Do you play multiplayer?

Thanks they not only make the m14's abd m3s but they make all the russian guns and heads I need to get this built.

Go with the BLAST Models's M4s. The TANK M4's have vintage Vietnam and Somalia 1993 scopes on them and are not used anymore. The TANK Para SAW is correct, but the scope isn't. Newer scopes are "zeroed" and more rugged and less prone to offset when shaken, hence why the TANK scopes are no longer used anymore. But if you buy HobbyFan figures, those guns and scopes are fine.

I want to do a "War Pig" mission diorama. Echelon has the markings but not sure if I want to do the tank correctly or as in the game.

For warpig, that tank in the game, i barely saw any tactical markings besides chevrons and i think the nickname on the bore evacuator. As for the game, no i cant play multiplayer, the movements of players and massive firefights and explosions, make my comp go rambo LOL

Hi Guys, any progress on ideas or the dio? I fancy doing a COD dio, going to play the game to get some ideas!

this is a fantastic idea , ive played and loved both games finished mw2 in 2 days , i was gutted but loved it now im doing it on harder settings ,,wow i thought of a dio from mw ,, in full gillie suits on the embankment as you wait for the helli to air lift you to safty ,,,ljust a thought

Luke,

The CoD Modern is a great idea. Sounds like it would also make for a fun campaign for the model-gamers in the crowd.

Tony

I played both of and i like it especially the snipers maps
