Very nice! I love the paint job on the ramp.
What figures did you use?
Super work.

This is very cool! Any plans to put it in a diorama or maybe a display base with water?

Looks great. I too have the Masterpiece Models ATC(H) as well. Yours is an inspiration to get mine started.

Fantastic work, Andy! Love the weathering!! Were you able to assemble it so you could remove the heli-pad and helo?

I've got the Nimix monitor in my stash and you're making me want to start it...though reality being what it is, I know that won't happen for quite some time!

Can't wait to see this beauty in a diorama!

Regards and Aloha,

Johnny B.

Theinan,
You've done a great job on the ATC(H) I have the kit in my stash and I know it's not the most straight forward of models to build. Your painting and weathering are also top notch, if mine turns out half as good as yours I'll be more than happy.
Keep up the good work and post up more of your great Nam models.
Cheers
David

Hi Thienan. Looks excellent. Its something you dont see modelled very often, but its a real stunner when built ... and the helicopter really sets it off. This really deserves a small base with some water to place it in its natural environment. Nice one.

Excellent, very good. I am very interested in getting a whole Riverine brown water thing going and have a lot of stuff. But none of the more expensive boats like that one. Adding the chopper just makes it all work better then the boat alone.

I have a number of PBRs and LSSCs and will attempt a scratch build HSSCs and maybe a MIKE boat. I would love to get one of those patrol boats that company makes but it's close to $200. I promised to myself I would get one by the end of the summer though. Nobody makes a 1/35 swift boat and I have a 1/48, it seems too hard to scratch build. I wished someone made the LCM 6 and the smaller boats like STAB and Higgins boats that the seals used.

I have pictures of the boat you built and you did a really excellent great job!!!

There's so many Vietnam era boats and ships model companies are ignoring. Even Dragon might have discounted their LSSC.
