Let's get to work.

Get that "Pigeonhawk" out of our thread!!!

 

[Fled74]

I might use it with Monkeywrench's idea though.

 

[NSA]

Anything less than buckshot to it's torso, filmed, will be unacceptable! It's a black mark on our hobby!!

 

[Fled74]

I'd use black powder and gas, but my daughter wouldn't like that. It's her toy now, not mine.

 

[pcsguy88]

Let's see a hybrid of Air Cav from Apocalypse Now and SOAR from Blackhawk Down!!

You... you gave.. you gave your daughter a DRAGONHAWK?

Wow, you're gonna get it when she's a teenage. That shit's coming back

 

[pcsguy88]

Very nice Fled!!!

She's five - she's not as discerning as we are (yet). As long as she gets to keep Reactive Armor Scarlett, she's happy.

 

[NSA]

Just giving you crap.. that Dragonhawk was the biggest disappointment from the RoC line I think. Just.. just.. comically deformed.

 

[Fled74]

Imagine how I felt when I opened the box.
"WTF? $35 shipped, for this piece of crap?? Sweetie, come here, want a new helicopter?"
"Really? Thanks Dad!"

I should take pic of WB in the Apache cockpit.

That was awesome! Love the dialogue!

Great little comic!

 

[Fled74]

Here's my repainted TRU Apache with WB and Deena Shan in the cockpit.

 

[pcsguy88]

Not too shabby and would probably look fairly good if the cockpit frame was painted. Don't feel bad, I can't paint them either.

This is an example of what won't win the contest

aawww those are so cute! To think that it wasn't all that long ago that I would have been glad to have some of those in that color scheme, now I'm so spoiled it seems.

Everyone must be working hard on their entries. ;

Well I'm hoping to get some free time this week for it but it may not be until Monday before I get out with the camera. Just got my Pave Hawk too so I want to use it somehow.

Sorry, the image link broke.

 

[Wild weasel]

Looks good! I like the drybrushing on it! Adds great streaking to it!

Theres alway an easier way. I never try and do all the framing at once. Just mask off one panel line at a time.

 

[NSA]

Wonder what the TRU one looks like next to the BBI one?

 

[XOC2008]

Besides tiny and insignificant?

 

[NSA]

Haha true that. But I *DO* think it's the perfect size for a Joe-Dragonfly remake. Though it'd help if it was a Super Cobra, but size-wise, if the Joe vehicles were that size instead of that RoC Dragonhawk abortion.. it'd be a start.

Groan.

Everyone's jumping on the Manny2001 train now.

Starting bid 92 bucks? Holy shit.

And granted, it would do well as a dragonfly repaint.. definitely a good size for Joes(and a better size than Joe vehicles as they are now.) Give True Heroes a couple more years.. they're already churning out stuff Joe collectors want.. affordable Apaches, Blackhawks, and now a C-130. Who knows, maybe they'll drop a super cobra into the mix eventually.

Someone over there put this pic up:

Decently big, for TRUheroes stuff for sure.

thats convincing me more and more

 

[NSA]

The real F-14 is about 63' long, and the C-130 is about 98'. So I think it's still underscaled.. even by Joescale terms

 

[Fled74]

Same here.

Big enough to work in a dio if parked or flying in the background.

 

[NSA]

I'm telling you it's gotta be like Matchbox car scale, whatever that is? 1:60? Maybe 1:48 scale.. I think it'd look good in a dio with little plastic army men, like a Predator drone image or something.

I was talking about way in the background where it's small size would make it look even further away. Obviously you could not have anyone standing near it.

 

[NSA]

Yeah I know, that wasn't a counter post, it was agreeing and expanding on the idea.

I think it'd be good for a tarmac shot etc. But it'd need a lot of work and $40 can be spent elsewhere.

 

[Rick]

Wow, A C-130?! Shoot with some customization it could have potential. For me it doesn't have to be completely accurate. Just believable and give it a new name.

Fled nice job on the helo. Painting the canopy would be a nice improvement.

He failed the test. He's one of them!
