Skyrian Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 This is my first post in this site. I present you my latest work with my Kiowa warrior in Greek version.This is the Academy kit with the old MRP mold. With this kit i bought the special Pro-cal aftermarket resign kit which converts the kit in the Greek recent version that my country added to the armed forces. The color i used is the AK Helo drab. In this work i decited to create all the possible details like wires in the pylons-missles and back fuselage until the back rotor, quite a hard work to do but the result looks very nice. Finally i added all the details for a stopped helicopter according to the real photos i studied.In the end i decited to build a simple diorama as you see with many scratch builds like satellite, wires, hf antenna, Barrels for spare parts, trush barrel, power suply generator etc. The helipad is created by plaster and lots of airbrushing. I believe that i have a good final result after all.. (Excuse my English..) 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I like this. I like a creative aircraft diorama because I find them so hard to even imagine. The way you have built in some height is brilliant, and far more interesting than a flat windswept concrete pan. Outstanding work!! I appreciate that you have squeezed everything together for dramatic effect, but I can't help pointing out that if even a light helicopter flew from there, it would blow those unsecured cables to pieces as well as everything else that moves, like the rubbish bin. But maybe they will tidy up before take off. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrian Posted December 29, 2021 Author Share Posted December 29, 2021 I'm glad you like my work. It is my first attempt with a diorama. You have right about the light objects probably they will fly away with the heli, but now i represent a parked aircraft, and this is what i was thinking in my mind. Dioramas are something else and most of the times i built aircrafts..now i realize the differences. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell stories and made me ask questions. That's what made me think of the light objects. I was asking 'what's happened here and what will happen next?' For me that's the heart of a good diorama - the story. And you did it without any figures, which is clever. I only just noticed that, when one of my questions was 'where has everyone gone?'

Skyrian Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Thank you for your nice words. It is true that is my first attempt..I imagined this image in my mind like a dream and tried to make it happen.. I always was a scratch builder but i never decited to create a diorama and now was the best chance to try it.. I believe that dioramas have no borders and limits.. To be honest im boring to deal with the figures.. I never paint them. I made a search of course for the diorama but i saw very few solutions for figures in 1/35 suitable for our era and for the diorama too, so i had to improvise.( I regreted for the satellite...i should make it from the coca cola can...now its late..😉) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 That's absolutely beautiful, @Skyrian! I'd like to build a 1/48 OH-58D and if I can achieve something close to this I will be very happy. Thank you for sharing this excellent build and I love the detail on the diorama elements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
