Yup, that's the one! I think I got better as I went along at faking stuff like that.

Weren't some of those TFs the bigger versions? Like the Megatron standing outside the Terrordrome? Or Bombstrike et al riding in Hound (the green Jeep Wrangler) If not, that's one helluva Photoshop job. Cool story.



I don't think it'll be too hard to find a couple 1/72 scale HMMWVs or some other vehicles. The look I'm going to go for is the Cobra will be providing air cover while the CH-53E picks up some troops from a hot LZ.

I wish! And a 1:18 scale Osprey! I know, I know, Chap Mei makes an Osprey, but it's NOT to scale!

Some were different sizes than others, though the ones you mention were Photoshopped. The Megatron I used in Part 1 is barely taller than a Joe, so putting him next to the Terrordrome was actually pretty challenging. Hound, on the other hand, is an Alternators figure, which is 1:24 scale, so it still took some 'Shopping to get Bombstrike (1:18 scale) into the driver's seat.

Glad you liked the story! If I can ever get motivated to take some pictures, there will be more on the way.

I would usually fuzz one of the choppers. Depends where you want the focus. Like, if you blur the chopper near you, that would indicate the chopper below is where you want the reader's focus. And vice versa. Fuzz the bottom, keep the top clear. And then softly blur the background and add some motion fx (not that I usually do).

A lot of it is angle and what not. It's doable.
