Didnt you say you were making it in the A Shau valley Mike?

Thanks guys. The dio. is in 1/35 scale. Zach, dont remember mentioning it was going to be at Shau valley somone. I'll have more pics. up by the end of this week or next. Iam covering the rest of the road w/celluclay, then iam going to put a coat of plaster on top for the road itself. Then do some work on the middle part of it. Adding tall grass, trees, rocks, etc.

Mike

Looking good. In 1:35 scale this must be a pretty large base.

My bad Mike, you said it would be the An Khe Pass.Couldnt remember if it was A Shau or An Khe lol.

I'm guessing this is HO or 1:72 scale right?

looks great !!! the idee is real good also good hight and depth variations

Thanks again guys, yes for 1/35 scale the base is pretty big. Its at 4ft. by 4ft.

The next step after I get some more celluclay or make my own. Is to build up the sides with some wood. Maybee put some designs onto it, camouflage, the names of the GT's in the 541st. Co. something like that.

Mike

This is a very good start, Hope to see how you've made the dio step by steps might be interesting if you could make pictures about the progress until the eind .
Wish you a very modelling time.

and of course

Yeah, i'll be providing some more pics. along the way. I took the measurements today for all the sides, them iam going to build up all the terrain. After that i'll start working on the vehilces more.

Mike

Well today my dad and I made the sides aronud the diorama. I did a little more ground work with the screen and paper method. Will be working on it some more, and hope to have some more pics. up by mid next week.
