Those of you that follow my meandering blog may recall this post Hipster where I discussed the below picture and how I had an urge to create a diorama of it. Well the Hip in 28mm was going to be massively expensive so I decided to do it in 6mm.
Original Picture
My Diorama
Its not perfect, I don't like the helicopters blades at all and the chopper I've used is not an exact match (the picture is a more modern variant I believe) but I'm fairly happy with the results. The whole thing is a tad pointless as I don't game any modern africa in 6mm. I guess if I ever do this could be some sort of objective marker or something.
I've got more Zombies on the paint desk at the moment as well as some more 6mm naps.
Looks pretty smart to me, as for being pointless sometimes we just have to scratch those itches!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, it was just one of those projects I had to finish. Who knows maybe it will inspire me to collect some african stuff in the scale.
DeleteI do have a reason for some 6mm helicopter(s). This is a nice little dio and I think it could push me to doing some more in this scale,
ReplyDeleteCheers Clint, the good thing about 6mm is you can induldge the whim to just do something because it won't take up any space.
DeleteYou're to modest, that's a great little job in 6mm! But who makes the chopper and figs?
ReplyDeleteCheers Mark, chopper and figures are from Heroic and Ros there really cheap.
