Firsta little back ground. I'm just recently back into "modeling" after many years. I've never been a serious modeler. Just assembled a few cars and enjoyed that. I stumbled into this site looking for airbrush reviews. I discovered dios and fell in love. I never knew they even existed or that you guys took this hobby SO far with detail. Went out and got a FSM mag form the store and just so happen it was the airbrush learning lesson, aswel as teaching weathering/washes which was quite perfect.
Anyway, I'll be done with my non serious '67 Chevelle SS tonight. Plan on doing a P-40WH with a more serious attitude and then move on to a small dio. I'll be gathering info/sketching/and planning while building the P-40
I am wanting to start very small with this idea and keep it simple to just learn the basics. I understand the concept of the dios telling a story. I enjoy that. However I have an idea for a 1 or 2 man dio(depending on timeset) that would involve just them alone.
I'm wanting to create a sniper dio. I see in my head a small hill riding from the frame. A tree in the rear left corner with shrubs nearby. Knee to waist high grass/straw. Sniper and spotter hidden amongst the foilage....just waiting.....are they gathering intel? protecting the advancing SF team? or calling in an airstrike?
I want to bring the fealing of being isolated to the mind of the viewer. It's a fealing I've always loved when watching movies of people that are holed up and defending/fighting. A very common fealing in zombie and military movies. The fealing of being alive with no one else nearby to help you if they find out where your at. It's a rush
I'm thinking newer army 2000+ and maybe a M21 on a tripod, and spotter with binocs
If anyone has any input, links to proper soilders/weapons, scene ideas please let me know
