Thanks guys for the comments always welcome.Hey greywolf were did you get the veitcong figures they show a little more action than mine.Dmd what figures are you talking I have the kit with 3 male vc and 1 female with biycycle havent seen many others.

AWWWW! I was hoping to see the interior of the tunnel, wanted to see if you used 2 step Charlie we talked about. Did you find out anything about making thatch for the hooch roof? Maybe some texturing and a brownish yellow paint to make it look that way.

wow thats wild, u did a nice job

Very Nice.. I like the dio

Any more progress you could share with us since these original photos were posted?

Looks great. I look forward to seeing the end result. FLAKDOG

I havent been working on this like I should spring time came and summer is on its way. If i spent as many hours on modeling as I do on my yard I might get it a few done as most people on here i have some 80 % done I trying not to let this happen on the cu-chi tunnel dio . If you ever try scratch building a thatch roof. This is the methed I used I took plaster of paris mixed it kind of thick (it will thicken as it sets up just use good judgment on the mixture)than I took an old paint brush and brushed it on to card board and leveled it with craft stick. I than took an old 1in brush a put the texture by draging it threw the plaster. It has to be done sort of fast or it be to hard. Kfmagee are you talking more progress since I posted these or some in between the first two progress post . Well any I only some when I first started and these that are here. Flakdog maybe Ill Have it done by this month.

LOOKS GRRRRRREAT! i love vietnam and thats a nice piece of vietnam, and i have seen it done alot and i need to know, what do you use to make, or were do you get, those really thin tree lookin things, on your thrid pick, you can see it near the top right corner, above the bushy tree, well if ya can help me with that thanks alot, cheers

lestweforget I am not sure what there called but i think there used to make make flower arrangements I found these in a local wall-mart store in the floral I dont know if there any of those stores in youre neck of the woods but you may be able to find in a floral shop of some kind the onll thing is the stems are green but you paint them I have some that have some kind of white powdery stuff on them they work good for winter dios maybe this will help they sure work good for filling gaps in foliage by the way thanks for youre comments.

impressive

oh ok thanks pfc, what would you use to make sure they dont decay after time and hold there position

I think they must have something on them . Its been over a year since i got them and they still look the same. They may also be fake dont really know.

I realized the size but I was to far into the project to scratch it and start over I supposed I would have for a contest or something but not to many people see my dios mostly you folks.For some reason the tunnel look alot bigger in the pics. Ive only been doing this for about a year you learn from mistakes this is what makes you better. Im now doing a little more research before I start a project.Thanks for all the comments.
