Hi all,
I added some new pictures of my diorama in progress (okay okay; I know progress is slow but still it's progress)
Most of the house and base has been painted and weathered, I also added the pavement on the other side of the road (I lengthened the base); this is where some 'telegraph-poles' are planned. Next thing to do will be the doors and windows of the house.

Mark,
I must say that I am stunned.
I love the house, very nice detail on it, that my friend is a feature article on How to ... in the making
So what that it is slow, look at the work you have done, simply stunning no commercial building can tip on yours.
I am not a Vietnam fan, but I know that I will watch out for this dio!

Commercial buildings probably dont have this much detail, unless you want to get a mortgage to buy them! Really excellent Mark!
What materials are you using? Are those PE balcony fronts? Wh makes these?

WOW! It's not even finished and it looks hoss :-) Being a Nam head, it's not every day you get the chance to see a new Nam dio; especially a big one like this. Nice to see some of you making them I'm going to begin work on my first Nam one in a week, or two. I don't know how I'm going to compete with this one though

thumbs up for that one
looking really great. do you have a special setting for that dio like Hue or Saigon during TET?
I'm also working on NAM things right now. A vignette from Hobby Fan and Tamiyas PBR.
Kep on posting the great work.
