SERNAK Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Amazing work!! I really like the colours "blending" effect you have achieved Oliver, in the cockpit/cabin. Just one question; I have a 1/32 Revell Huey and some 1/35 Dragon 'Vietnam-era' figures, and I was thinking of making a diorama with both, however, I was wondering do you think that it is possible to combine these two (perhaps the figures will look a bit small....)? Keep up the good work!!! Edited January 31, 2018 by SERNAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you can combine 1/35 figures and 1/32 aircraft w/out issue. The key is to keep constant-sized items (canteens, weapons, water cans, etc.) in the same scale. People come in all sizes, so no issues. I have used 1/35 figures and armor/accessories with 1/32 aircraft/helos many times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to find items such as the ones you're mentioning, to compare them with what Dragon has in the figures' box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I meant was don't mix 1/32 canteens with 1/35 canteens, or 1/32 M1 Garands with 1/35 M1 Garands and so forth. Keep all the constant-sized items in the same scale, whatever that scale is. The scales look fine togther to my eyes. Not mine, but here are some examples of 1/35 figures w/the Revell 1/32 Huey. Edited January 31, 2018 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Great samples of work. I had a second thought on whether the M60/M16s that Dragon gives would look OK. However, after reading your comment, I obviously need to find some 1/32 weaponry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Long Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Greg, Nice work on the Huey but isn't this thread about the MH-60S build Startup a new thread if you wish to change topic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 1/35 M16s and M60 look fine w/the 1/32 helo. The weapons should be in the same scale as the figures though. Edited February 2, 2018 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep at it and try new things. Don't get caught in the accurate spin. Accuracy in my book has a way of narrowing vision of the final product. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
