Hey, Joe... that info will help me out a lot in choosing the figures. Thanks!
I'm afraid my skills aren't good enough for scratch building a whole vehicle

Alfred, I'll see which will be easier for me!

Hi Laurent.. you can check out the vehicles at Hobby Search. They are 1/32 scale, but I think they will work with 1/35 figures and vehicles.

Thx for the kind words Hisham, have fun whatever you do. There's always room for artistic license in any project.

Cheers, Ski.

Hi Hisham

Here's the picture Joe is talking about :
Nha Trang - Camp McDermott circa 1966-67 :



and here's the corresponding kit I think :



I'm still waiting for a Lambretta...

Thanks for the pic, Frenchy! I'll try to work it into the dio somehow.

Hisham

I wait for the result of the dio..
Thx for your reply..and thx for the the link
Laurent.

You're welcome Hisham. Just don't forget to convert this 3-wheeler into a left-hand drive vehicle (shouldn't be too hard ).

Frenchy

I was going through my stash last night and I found out I had this other Miniart building.. which I thought might be more fitting for the dio I have in mind. What do you guys think... is this other one better for a Vietnam setting?



I was also thinking I could build it without the third floor, like the pic below. Or does the third floor still fit the setting?



I'd appreciate your opinions before I start building.. the building

Thanks for putting up with all my questions

Hisham
I've just came across a French website which presents dozens of French Indochina and Cochin-China pics, including colonial architecture examples like these :












IMHO, it looks like the kit you have would be usable without too much troubles...

Hey, Frenchy, thanks for the pics and the link.. very helpful!

I already have both kits, so it's a matter of deciding which to use... maybe I'll toss a coin for it

Thank you, Prasert... any information and pics will be of great help.

Love that ceiling fan you made for your building !
