Hi all

I remember a while back a manufacture released a Vietnam wall section with one of the signature round door ways into it ( reminiscent off "full metal Jacket") I'm sure we showed it as a news item but I am unable to locate it.

Does any body remember which manufacture released it or have any links to where I could pick one up?

thanks in advance

cheers

Hi Robert

close to the one i was thinking off , I'm sure some made one with a completely round doorway, although this one could be a good alternative

cheers

Hi There,seem to remember something like what you described got used in a Verlinden diorama,although i can`t remember seeing it as a VP product.
Just as a thought,could`nt it be built using a balsa frame with with some kind of wall filler to carve the detail into ?(polyfilla).

I could quite easily scratch build it, i think but it is really a time element and if i could get one quickly it would help
