Very impressive work! I wish we'd see more Vietnam-era dioramas.

What is your plan for the spinning rotors on the helo?



Well, my plan is using clear plastic sheet for making a circle painted with airbrush in a blurry way for tail rotor, and the same about main rotor blades (but not a circle but a wider at end blades)...

if i remember right, the tailrotor moves at like 6X the rate of the main rotor, don't know if that would figure into how u do ur paint job or not.

Man, that's cool! I have been thinking of something along those same lines for a few years. I have the copter and the base done, I just need to add some figures. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Some incredible work Csago, can't see a thing you missed. I especially love the color contrasts throughout the scene, incredibly well done, those palm colors are perfect.

As for that bird, it's a bit of a high pitch for me, but you're the master of the piece. I've seen the rotors done like you described, but I can't recall where I've seen it. Anyone remember that and have a link? It's and excellent affect if done properly, standing by for more.

Ruck On Csago, this is coming along most incredibly!

Cheers, Ski.
