The Cheyenne Dropship is one of the most iconic movie models ever made. Today we're restoring, painting and lighting our 32mm set of dropship and APC. Perfect for games of AVP, Warhammer (it'd work for imperial guard right?) and Stargrave.
Big thanks to Dafydd at Terraintronics. Visit him over at Terraintronics.com or over on his KZfaq channel for all your miniature electronics goodness.

AWESOME Dave! Love seeing the Conwy board at work. That wire wrap tool is a savior, MS or not! I used with my son when he was younger to teach the basics of wiring LEDs, without the risk of burning him!

That’s my last Conwy! Time to move onto the other stuff you sent, bubba!

@@MSPaints Your problem of your dropship looking only 1 colour, all over, is not your fault. The screen model used in Battlestar Galactica, the model kit of it, said not to weather it, at all! Instead, it said use different shades of white. They said it was because of the studio lights also! Here is a link, mate. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p96kiq2bq9DOj6M.html

And he brings out the classic tome! Outstanding! This is great work, though one things always annoys me when I see kits and things made up for the combat drop scene is that every time, the landing gear struts are created wrong and the ship doesn't "crouch" over the struts after touch down. It's a small thing, I know, but there's a specific shot in the movie showing this.

@Daniel-Strain 9 ай бұрын

It's rough doing pieces that are supposed to be current active-duty military hardware. The military keeps its gear super clean and in tip top condition. So, a Star Wars style over the top rust, dirt and grime, dents, scrapes, etc may be fun to do and add scale, but would never be seen on military hardware that is in service and not meant to be battle damaged. Makes it challenging to show scale. Good job finding that balance :)
