Its really amazing how you have used these figures in youre scene. Do they all have modifications done to them. Were did you get the material for the sides of the hooch looks great. Cant wait to see it all come together. Oh were did you get the water buffalo that to is a nice touch. What happened to the dio you were working on with the soldiers scaleing a cliff sneaking up on some VC did you finish it or is it still in progress just wondering it looked really cool.

Thank you very much. The sides of the hut are pieces of an individual tablecloth made of natural fibres I found ina decoration shop, and the ox (not a water bufalo) is a toy figure with a little of putty for a better look.

And the dio you refer to, with a MACV-sog recon team under a rope suspended brigde, it´s parked till the end of this one ... I hope to retake the SOG dio in september, after the World expo 2009 un july at Gerona (Spain).

Best regards.

Thank you Christian. About the paint, I use only vallejo acrilic paint, but silver enamel for drybrush over the weapons ...

Happy modelling.

Awesome work, I've followed this thread for a long time, and finally an update!
Where did you get the OH-6 in 1/35? What company makes it?
Thanks,

Marek

Dragon makes the OH-6, or LOACH in 1/35. They also make some of the newer versions, like the SpecOps LittleBird. REVELL used to make one in 1/32.

Thank very much for all the kind comments.

About the hut, I made a post some months ago about the materials I used.

http://armorama.com/forums/109720#903462

The only change I made after that post was the making of walls with the same material of the door ... As you can see all the materials are easy to find and very cheap...

Some pictures of the interior of the hut
