Hi everybody,
I just took several pictures of bamboo hut over a pond and two wooden bridges over a creek some where near my home.

I have never been to Vietnam, but comparing the scenery in Indonesia and Vietnam there is not much different between the two. So these pictures might be useful for building Vietnam diorama.

Where should I upload it to ? And how ? Just let me know the shortcuts, I am lazy to read the instructions small prints

I also took some pictures of rusted dozer bucket, if you are interested.

And as a bonus I have a walkaround picture of a BANANA tree.

Cheers,
Aripin "Zelda" Sunardi

Aripin,
Well that would definately make good reference material for dioramas. One solution for a image uploading spot would be the new Armorama at MSN site. Users that sign up with MSN (the .net passport thing) get 3mb of storage space on their account (at least I think this is how this works). So try that first. Alternately there are sites like Yahoo, Webshots, and others. But many of them have restrictions on loading the images remotely (which many of our users like to do in posts).

I would offer to host them in the gallery here but we don't really have a category for that kind of reference images and we are also trying to conserve space at the moment until more advertisers sign-up and allow us some expansion space.

Here is the URL for the MSN site:

http://groups.msn.com/armorama

Thanks,
Jim

Yes pics of Bamboo Hootches would be good.

Ari,

I took plenty of pics when I was in indonesia last spring, with the very same purpose. I even sent a postcard to Jim for reference material, but I must have messed up the address somehow and it was lost.
Maybe the indonesia post officers didn't like my suggestion that this would be a nice setting for a diorama with helos and tanks...

Those bamboo pics could sure work on just about any dio having to do with southeast asia,its a native plant of that area.I have some picture I took in Spain a few years back it has a wheat field rollings hills and a mountain range in the background.this picture could be anywhere in europe from the western front to the eastern front.

#:-) I'll take two dozen bannnas (especially the small red babies) and a photo of that banana tree! In exchange I have found some build up shots of the Somali Technical and A/A gun. Wow bannas for technicals now isn't that unusual bargaining material?

Hi everybody!
As you know Brazil isnŽt in asia, but due to our climate similarities, if you would like to have pics of bananas, bamboo, and some tropical plants, just let me know...IŽll do my best to fullfill your expectations!
Cheers

These 2-3 days, I have been trying to upload the bamboo hut pic and the bridges to photos.yahoo.com; but the connection from where I live is bad.

Any suggestion on alternative method ?

Thanks

Watch for my future posting in this forum, I am still trying to upload the picture to photos.yahoo.com

Technicals are one of my favorite vehicles, I got several pictures Somali technicals from Corbis.com. The batch includes M-151A2 with 106mm RR (I think!)

Cheers,
Aripin
