Opinions Wanted

Post by Mark Aldrich »

OK guys, is this too crowded? There will also be several figures. One sitting in the 23-2, one or two running Foreign photographers, one, Libyan videoing them running and maybe one just chilling on the sidewalk. The base is from Masterpiece models and is really nice.

Nice wee base Mark, could get a bit crowded with the two technicals and several guys. Why not just one vehicle?

I was afraid of having dead space. Not sure what I will do. I think I am going to have to get the figures assembled and see how cluttered it will look. I like the idea of the two vehicles in close proximity but the "story" may not be visually obvious. The guy on the 23-2 doesn't matter. The guy shooting the home video of the two war correspondents running for shelter should be fine. It's the war correspondents that I think might make it more cluttered.

There will be a lot going on there Mark. I think putting the figures on the base to judge the space in the scene makes good sense. :)

Much better, way less crowded without the other SUV.

Thanks guys! Still want to add some things and found this from Plus Models. Might order it or try my hand at melting some of the bottles I have. I also was looking for some garbage cans and found some nice ones on Shapeways. I always forget about them until the end (probably 'cause their search engine sucks so bad).

Hi Mark

The first scenario with the 2 vehicles is too crowded

Your 2nd choice does look much better.

The street garbage is a really cool find, we had them on a scenario by Eugene some years ago, and they do look the part.

Even DIY rubbish bags are worth having a go.

Time for figure painting Mark
