Looks great. The only thing I would add is maybe a little more dirt to the road? For a more dusty feel.

@KaleNVL – KaleNVL,

Welcome. Excellent work! You’ve done a great job on both the V100 and figures. It’s hard to capture a believable ‘in action’ scene but you pulled it off on this one! Looks like a photograph taken right out of a newspaper clipping.

Hoping to see more of your work here.

I would concur about the dirt and maybe some minor debris.

I was not surprised to see that Mark likes your handling of the bridge (given his area of interest and his activities ).

I am not entirely sure as I'm no expert on ARVN things, but is the basic colour of the V100 not too light. Were they painted in the same OD as US vehicles??

Anyway, I like the dio a lot!! Shows skill and good thinking!

Congratulations Sir!

Cheers

Romain

Great dio! It's true, ARVN subjects are uncommon, but you've done a good job here, keep it up. The Verlinden armored car looks like a nice kit, what did you think of it?

Nice piece of work.For 16 you've done a great job.
As mentioned I think it just needs a little dirtying up.
Keep up the good work.

Kale my friend..I'm really impressed! My dioramas were not nearly as good when I had your age!

So the ARVN vehicles were painted OD.

I must admit that if you went by the picture you posted as a reference, it becomes clear why your OD looks that greenish/yellowish.

Keep producing such interesting dioramas and be sure to post lots of pics for us!!

Cheers

Romain

Frank, this modeller is 16, student, and lives in Vietnam (great modelcommunity I seen on the net, but hardly the off the shelf modelling country,as we are used to;) )

when I was 16 (damn long ago) I wouldn't have come close to this kind of dio,...


his figs are shiny, the dio looks kinda "empty",not all seams are gone,but


who cares, KaleNVL has fun, and we enjoy by lookin'

next time I bet he's gonna get a can of MATT to cover that last fase
