Hi all
Well here it is: the reason why my dioramas just won't finish; I'm working on a little vignette of Vietnam Fire Support Base 'Veghel' . The Vietnam veterean my wife is writing with, will be on there (he served at FSB Veghel) and the vignette is meant for him .
It's far from finished but some pictures of it so far can be seen here:

any tips or comments are welcome

I like it. I like the way the FSB is ascew to the base. The ground work is very convicing and authentic. I like the gear scattered about.
One question, would the 55gal drums be that close to the FSB?
Don't forget that the red soil get Everywhere, especially after rain.

nice groundwork..especially psp plating is a good detail in nam dios..willing to see it done soon ..best regards

Thanks Scott,
I guess you're right about the drums; I'll change those for something else. And I'll make sure to give evrything a good pastel-treatment when all is finished.
And Engin, thanks and I'll post some pics of the finished thing here.

Thanks a lot
Mark

wow, taking something from real life and putting it into a vignette, that's cool, looks like its gonna be a fun /vignette! hope all goes well,

p.s. it looks more like a diorama, maybe thats just the size of it

55 gal drums were sometime filled with sand for barriers and we also concocted a Foo Gas which is a poor mans napalm. We would mix diesel fuel, detergent and old motor oil with a little C-4 for good measures for the final line of defense. You could display your barrels in one of these ways if you want.

Hi Mark,
I really like your work. Do I see a lawn chair? Very cool. How did you make that?
Can't wait to se it finished.

Awesome, but could be messier :-) Check out this pic of Khe Sanh Add some paper and more trash on the ground. Still, it looks really good so far. Keep it up man. I love Nam dios.

This is looking cool, I have no comments as the others have already pointed out everything. Keep us posted on this. Cheers Kevin

Really like what I see so far its good to see another Nam modler around cant wait to the end result

G'day mate, looking great, what did you use for the red soil?
I agree with PFC it is good to see a fellow nam modeller around! cheers cant wait to see it finished!

I was going to use this idea, but don't know if I'll ever get around to making it, so I figured I'd toss it out there to you guys. I don't know if this will work in yours since it looks like your guys are gonna be chillin' around a cooler, but thought it would be an awesome idea for a dio.
