Greetings. Welcome to a remake of my RM/Apache dio. I'm making this to auction for the Mutual Support charity. It helps members of the military family affected by multiple sclerosis. The dio will consist of an Apache as it launches a Hellfire above a Viking fording a ditch. Here be the Apache so far.
Unfortunately I've managed to lose the completed cannon and nose sensor while i tidied me shed. This made me unhappy. So i've had to scratch up another one. It's based around a 1/35th 50. cal. with the addition of 2 fire extinguishers. a spare chally 2 track link, some plasticard, fuse wire and a cotton bud stick for the muzzle. The ammo feed is a single layer of fibre optics sandwhiched between tamiya tape and cut to length.
Next up have the almost completed Viking. Its resin and white metal. I added jerry cans at the back and the packs under scrim on the roof.
And the base. The ground is building insulation sprayed with rustoleum alabaster spray. That glues the surface together and gives it a nice texture. while it was still wet I sprinkled some cat litter over for rocks and small stones. Then of gave the whole thing a desert coloured wash.
The water in the ditch is silicone shaped with a lollypop stick.. Once its completed the Viking will be pushing a bow waves up the bank and have water running off its front. The water needs a lot more fine tuning. Then we get to the fire works. he hellfire will have a wire going from the exhaust to its launch rail which will be wrapped in cotton wool.
finally we have the mortar in the water. Its the base of a narrow can inverted with a piece of doweling standing in the centre. I first covered it in silicone mixed with a few drops of brown. Then a very thin layer of clear silicone to make it look more watery.

.Love your idea for the Hellfire missile.
