I've upgraded won of my old Nam dios just want to show some pics. I've added some more vegetation, added the M113, and started thatching the hut. http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RQDxAhgTtXMyVICxLFXYxMreiw7VfHFBVp6SNPfuD1iFgCvJsZeX5R4AT!iPWEw3H02CCxj1skYoH3wDFeGMnKQ9tZNdn8xTSZuoFdO56eM/000_0137.JPG?dc=4675465733720737381

Please comment if you like even if it is criticism youre comments keep me motivated. :-)

I would dirty up the inside of the personal carrier, make it look used and lived in, other than that-- looking good!

yes...dirty up the inside of the vehicle and also a "dust wash" on the vegetation would be a good idea... its all too clean, beside that i like the dio!!! nice idea , the hut is looking fine, maybe a bit too tall but fine to me

ofc there will be figs also?

that thingy on the front of the first photo is the underground bunker? is it deep? get some pics of it

Having build recently a Vietnam Dio with a M113 ACAV also in there and have searched a lil i d add these few things:
1)Much more dirty in the inside of the vehicle and more weathering on the outside(earthmarks some mud paint chipping dust and all these)
2) the small cottage should have some washes and pastel treatment to give an old worned and used look not a new one as it mostly looks.
3) Also this nice plantation that you have , is much bright green coloured for my likes and doesnt show weather affection, or some dust and all this.. Maybe a dust overspray would do some job there.
i d also like to see some close shots of the M113 to help u on this. From what i can see at this distance the tracks seem to be a lil on the air and not touching properly the road wheells. This could be fixed by supergluing the track on the wheels to show thei weight ..

Hope i helped some and if you need anything more to improve it i am here tio help .

the interior of that vehicle looks too white, a lot of washes are needed. but I guess you are just starting this dio and this are some early pictures right?

Thanks for the input I started this dio about 10 months ago I kept pushing it aside worked on it for about a week and it is now push back to the side I will try to put some pics of the m113 by itself in the armour forum. As for dusting the vegetation how should I go about doing this. And yes there is a tunnel complex under the dio.
