Hi all,
As I mentioned in my last topic, I've started work on a new project, set during the conflicts in Chechnya.
The scene will dipict a Russian Spetnatz team, whose extraction chopper has been forced to crash land after taking heavy fire from rebel machinegunners. As the Russians set up a hasty defense around the crash site, rebel forces close in for the kill, bringing with them an old, yet fully functional, T-55 tank.
At the moment nothing is fully completed. The tank will have some weathering added, the chopper will have battle damage, and the farmhouse will be blended into the terrain with bushes, paths and fences. The base will have dozens more trees, as well as hedges and stone walls.
Basically, there's a lot still to do ;-)
Anyway, here's some pics of my current progress.
Here's a few of the trees. I'm currently experimenting with how to create the best looking ones, but they're all pretty similar.
The T-55 up close.
And about half of the Spetnatz commandos. Note flight engineer on the right hand side. As the only surviving member of the crew, he's taken up a fallen comrade's Dragunov in an attempt to protect his new team mates.
So that's it so far. At the moment, I'm stuck with making the walls for the base. Does anyone know of somewhere I can get a bag of small rocks or pebbles that I can use? The only places I have found are aquatic stores, and they seem to only stock sparkley ones...
