At last, the concluding part of the two-part series, Project: Classified is here. This model and movie making project has been some time in the making and when I first started sketching plans for my Military Airfield I had no idea how this would evolve and that the concept of shooting a presentation movie would develop as a result. Safe to say it is not the usual approach to model making and model display, but hey, I dared to be different!
Part 2 picks up from where part 1 left off and seven jets from Evie AFB are tracking an unknown craft picked up on radar. Suddenly radio signals are jammed and all contact with the jets and the base are lost. In part 2 we get to see what becomes of those missing jets and what they found. I concluded the story at a point but felt something was missing so I added an extra post credits sequence to make for a more complete story. It did mean I had to start constructing a completely new mini diorama at very short notice but i think i pulled it off. Have a look and let me know your thoughts.
Apologies for those that are not feeling for this sort of approach. Hopefully, and for your sake, I will at some point revert back to the classic static photos approach to display my creations, but for now i'm just having way too much fun!
A short documentary on the making of the air base itself is to follow. Then possibly one or two more short demo movies to follow that. I'll then park my Maisto Tailwinds for more "mature", models. I'm considering making a brand new airport altogether for that so watch this space!
