I've been wanting to make a Hue diorama for ages so am watching this spellbound by the attention to detail and authentic representation of Hue film footage and still shots, really captures the look of Hue '68. Awesome job Romain, an M48a3 wouldn't go amiss.



Yup! The M48a3 would fit in perfectly! Maybe it's because you see them on nearly all the HUE dios around, but I decided to leave it out.

Next week Leo will bring the last bit of vehicle and I will have to weather it! It is tracked, but rather special......I guess you know what it is, don't you!

Until then....just a little update....

Cheers

Romain




Yes and Awesome to see the U.S Army represented in a Hue diorama. Looking forward to your latest tracked addition Romain.

Jerry m8!

I simply love your jumpmaster!! Superb down to the last little detail!!
I like this one even better than the one with the beret! I think the face has even more "expression"!

Another masterpiece!!! Well done indeed!!!

Cheers bro!

Thanks brother
Now get those Marines of yours' to lay down some suppresive fires before the flanking team advances! M60s bloop guns something!! Keep those VCs' heads down!!
This is one of the coolest dios I have ever seen.

Can't get over the dynamics of this dio. No figures with pointing fingers here ... just pointing weapons!

The confusion comes from the fact that the first module is missing here!

The base of fire is a key element of the first....and this squad is in fact the second flanking unit, but running into a cul de sac, they take a right turn and join the covering unit on the wall (always on the first module). The grenadier is not hit, but he is a little jumpy whenever there is an explosion going off in the vicinity (and who could blame him!)

Cheers

Hi romain I'm loving watching this dio expand and I must say your groundwork buildings and figures are exceptional!! Do you have any problems with the size difference between various figure suppliers?? Many thanks Darren
