Excellent painting and good groundwork. Interesting figure interaction.

Palm trees are very realistic.

Well done,
Chas

Super piece of work. The one thing that jumped out at me is the flag on the back of the track. Hanging a flag like that and allowing it to get all muddied is very bad flag etiquette. I doubt a group af Marines would allow this to happen.

Wow! Great job, MC Leung.

Each figure is a little masterpiece by itself and the ground work looks very realistic.

Thanks for sharing

Once again MC, fantastic work!!! I'm going to ask Bill to bring the Hue City dio to AMPS this year and see what interest it generates. I wish you could come to AMPS so we could all sit down and chat and commiserate. Bill sends me pic cd's of your work all the time. Great work as usual and good kuck with the music gig!!
Best regards, Ed Spaide

Great job MC!!

I love that there are so many figures crammed into one space without it looking crowded and out of place. Each one of the figures is unique and tells it's own story. I love the tatoos and individual pieces of kit that make each on different. Your vehicles are really well done and the groundwork and tress/plants are first rate.

I really like this one, I wish I could see it in person. Well done....

Hi MC,

Really great work on the figures and the dio in general. The poses are well thought out and the number of troops really bring it to life.

1st Class job,

This is really a beautiful dio--excellent figures, and a well-finished vehicle-- but one thing really screams out at me--

If you look at the bottom of the vehicle, it's obvious that it's traveling in some very muddy terrain. And yet on top, where all the soldiers are-and their FEET--there's absolutely NO mud, dirt, nothing. The top of the vehicle is so clean you could eat off it. Even if they didn't bard it in the mud, it's too clean on top.

I would definitely add some mud and footprints to the top of the vehicle to show that the boys a actually climbed aboard, and weren't just placed there by,,,,oh,,, some big modeler's hand?

Gentlman,
Thank you for you advise. It is always to see thing in real rather than in photo, especially, I am not a professional camera man.

Nicely done camo on helmets, good interactions between the three sets on the dio. Nice unsaid story line. Very good job, Kudo's to you. Warren
