Black Hawk Down Diorama: Super 64 Crash site

[Robbie TPC]

Little side project I'm working on, a 1/72 scale diorama.
Progress so far,

You guys tell me which movie and scene.
Good luck :thumbsup

Raiders? Market/scene? Or Truck Rollover?

Re: What am I building ?

I'm assuming, from the pictures, either what Jedimaster suggested (something from the Indiana Jones films, most likely the sword vs. gun scene) or you're doing a diorama set in a deserted, post apocalyptic Griffith Observatory.

Re: What am I building ?

Nope, no Indiana Jones.

Hint: The movie is based on a true story.

We have a winner :thumbsup
Yes, it is the second crash site when Mike Durants Black Hawk 'Super 64' went down.
The movie is based on the real story but the crash site(s) in the movie are not the same as the real crash sites back in '93.

Real Super 64 crash site,

Movie Super 64 crash site,

Anyway back to business, next update ASAP.

I dont think ive ever seen any modeling like this. Looking forward to your progress!

 

[Robbie TPC]

It's a bit unorthodox way of modeling, I used old plywood/triplex leftovers to build up the diorama. Old material I wanna get rid of but didn't wanna throw it away in the garbage. I think you can call this guerilla model making.

Started to paint the road and buildings on the right, this is just the first basecoat. Gonna use different base colors to create lots of dept and details.

Awesome work on this already. I look forward to more. This is one of my favorite movies.

 

[tgreco]

that is looking tight!

 

[Robbie TPC]

I used this British WW2 figure as size reference, need to find some Delta figures

 

[Burke]

Couldn't help but create an account just for this, I happen to be working on a 1/35 of the real Crashsite- don't have any photos to upload but will soon. Could I get an reply on what you plan to use for Crew members and Shugart Gordon?

 

[Robbie TPC]

Welcome aboard :thumbsup
I don't know yet what to use for the crew/delta and Somali figures, still searching.

Added a few more base colors,
