Here is a progress pic of my dio every thing in the background is scratch built the hut is made from straw out of a janitor broom it resembles bamboo when weathered. Glueing the straw peice by piece really is time consuming but the result is great. Any comments welcome.

This pic shows how eluminated my tunnel the figures where kind of hard to see with average lighting so I used a small bulb to light the tunnel I know that lights where only used in rooms of the tunnels but this shows a little more detail but not in my pics By the way how do I post more than 1 pic at a time.

Looking really impressive pfc

I love this idea of a more level dio. That`s an idea that crossed my mind several times but I still don`t have found a purpose for that. I really love the straw hut you have there and a very ingenious way to make the bamboe of a broom.

anyway great dio ...... I saw a program about the Cu chi tunnel the other day and I was really impressed withthe size of the tunnel

What scale is this? The broom straw looked a lot thicker that I would have expected for 35th. Great scratch building and your illumination...that looks fantastic like the tunnel rats are using flashlights. Only point (from a historical perspective) the likelihood of finding a tunnel entrance you didn't have to crawl through on your back would be almost nil. Anything that large would be a huge group headquarters and we would have gone into that one with a bunch of guys tossing gernades right and left

Thanks guys for the comments . This is 1/35 scale blaster76 Iwas afraid my entrance was to large but I think I wiil leave it alone .

Very neat. Ilike the two stage dio.

here's a couple of ideas to liven it up a bit. a punji stake pit and a snake nailed to a beam. THe cong would set up booby traps in their tunnels. Taking a highly venomous snake and nailing its tail to an overhead beam was afavorite. That sucker would be so mad hee'ld bite aything that came near him, by the time the tunnel rat could get back to the entrance he would be dead

hey blaster76 what kind and color of snake would I use. Here is pic of my pungie trap.

Well Crickey mate.....I think they were only a couple of feet long and brownish that's the famous two step charley
