Love the dio Ha Pham!
The weathering is superb & I love the way the tracks have chunks of dirt in them. Very impressive!
How did you attach the .50cal to the commanders cupola?

PHAM that is another fantastic piece you have made the women is a nice touch it adds a sense of scale to the diorama against the figure nice work

Very nice Ha PHAM. The figures add so much life to the scene. The correct way (IMHO) way to exhibit a tank ... simple ground work and a few figures ... all of which help develop the location and era.

What a great looking diorama. Simple. Focused. I can just imagine this scene unfolding in a street in Vietnam. It must have brought back a lot of sad memories to you. Congratulations!

A great subject- one of my favorite as it was the tank my father served on while in Vietnam. I have to admit that the coloring on the wheels and tracks is spot on- red clay-ish color- very much what I have seen in photographs.
Great work,
Sean
