Using what I had available to me and having never been there myself I put together two vignettes that began as a stopgap between wwII ideas,they turned out to be actually quite fun.The first one is an American Field Command Post in Vietnam and the second is the Vietcong.
And the enemy…
The sandbags in the CP are the Tamiya goodies so gives you an idea how long ago I did this one,yikes!![:)]
Great work, the jungle looks believeble. Which is always hard to do. Thanks for sharing.
Skar,your first again,what ya got a tent pitched around here somewheres,lol?!
Thanks man! The jungle piece came about when my wife came home with two plastic fishtank old lookin jungley tree trunks,yes,pet store stuff,ya find the neatest stuff to use there. Check it out!
Nice job, they may be old but they’re probably better than anything I’ve done to date. And i still can’t get the photography aspect. Any tips??
Seb
Ya might have to quiry Bugsy on that Seb,I dont know the first thing about running a digitol camera,I do know that he uses a tripod and puts the camera on a short timer,anything more than that I havent a clue,sorry.
Really nice. I always like looking at your work. Incredible
Ted
Thanks very much Ted,it`s a pleasure for me to be able to share them with you all and
answer a few questions,this is what fun in modeling is all about. Thanks again.
Nice build. How did you do the “bamboo”?
Hey Grandad,the bamboo is something that grows wild in our backyards here on
Vancouver Isle,it`s called tubegrass! Cut to length,let dryout and it looks exactly like
bamboo.
It looks so real that I wondered how you did it. Natural always is better. Will have to look down here for something similar.
They’re both great builds, thanks for the pics…
Sasd both builds look great
Thad
Superb work on the foliage and figures!
Yeah but the sandbags suck! Thanks gents.
Nice! What type of sandbags did you use?
Great job all around.
Soo-Poib Russ! Methinks that those are Tamiya bags? Gonna start using plasticine for mine soon!
Glad to see some Vietnam era stuff. Nice job, as always!
