1:9 Halcyon Model Kit

This took way longer that I expected. Which seemed like a very straight forward assembly and easy paint, ended up as a very challenging and interesting kit.

I used a real tiny chain, since the molded one looked NOTHING like the movie prop. But overall, it's a very accurate model, I was surprised with the level of detail this guy has. My only complaint is his legs look kind of skinny... I'm not sure if Stallone's legs look like that, but they just seem a little off (just A LITTLE though, and this does not detract from the overall look)

Whatever you may think about the movie, you have to admit that the costume looks cool!

Italeri Military Armed Pickup. Originaly this started as military kit, but I converted to civilian. Painted in matched Apple Green Factory color by custom mxing various Tamiya Acrylic paint. Wheels from Aoshima Hilux Lift up, tires from Tamiya1/32 4WD kit. Suspension is slightly raised to make it more realistic. Canvas top is scratch build using pla-plate and Tamiya Epoxy Putty, finiched in Dessert Yellow.

My brother built and painted this way back in 1963 and I've kept it all these years.

I tried to capture the Ingram's size, but the angle is not that good..

So, what do the kids of today do?

The air-landing "Helldiver" is built almost 100% out of the box - just some hydraulics were added inside of the opened air brakes on the lower legs, and the head received some hydraulic rams as added details.

Furthermore the cockpit hatch was with the pilot lifted high enough to have a look "out of the Labor's breast" - it's actually a 1:72 figure, but it's acceptable as a 1:60 Japanese person ;)

Painting was done with Tamiya Acrylics, and the kit slightly weathered/dusted.

The small diorama was built on a 8x8" base, with real wood pieces and real earth for the forest ground it is supposed to simulate. Additionally, some moss and foam leafs were used.

The basic idea for this shoot I've in 2004.

But it look terrible and was taken with an old pocketcam of mine.

Now I came back to this idea and take a new soft pink setup.
