G'day everyone, well i was just listenening to Col Chisels song Khe Sanh, and it gave me an idea, i would love to build a dio of a soldier at an airport returning home, with his bags, to find no one waiting for him, just civis walkin right by him, he could even have a bandage on his head or something, i would name it, as the lyrics go ..."there were no V-Day heroes in 1973"...
what do you all think, i will definatly do this one, cheers

Its not a bad idea at all, peaceful scenes are a differenve in out hobby and of much interest. You could also add some M151 and a building to be the airport main build, or some toll, or something like that . And a soldier in his celebration uniform with his bags and a bandage on the head looking sad after all this killing he has scene maybe with a last cigarette in the foreign country , or the first in his country (depending where the dio will be located). So go on and you will have as much help you need i believe from everybody here . I am also searching on Nam's items so i could also help u

Great idea this is another part of the war that the soldiers did not understand. its nice to see the war at every angle not just combat if I can help let me know.
