Hello to all and congratulations on a fantastic site and forum. This is the story so far, i work for the local council as a care worker i have had the pleasure of spending some time with a great old lad who has been building models for some 30 years however last year he had a stroke and has lost the use of his left arm.He asked in in april this year if i could build models, of course i can no problem i said, and the rest is history lol. I am building my first diorama and it is based on vietnam i will try yo upload some pics this week for u all to look at, as i said this is my first diorama and i have only built 7 models in total please feel free to be honest about my efforts as i am sure your thoughts will only help me.

Welcome to the gang Neil,
While the Vietnam era isn't my particular favorite subject, it's always interesting stuff to look at.
