I started the Super Jolly the other night and I want to put it in a dio hovering over the jungle picking up a pilot.

Any ideas on how trees in the Nam look like, and how to go about making them. Thanks for your help.

G'day Chip
trees in the nam, well first thing that comes to mind is variety, there are so many different types, from palms to evergreens, basically any tree will do, if ya want some pics of just a few common types let me know i will send em to ya.
cheers

I did a Burma based diorama for the Splash Campaign and the way I got vegitation ideas was to Google it!
I simply typed in the country and trees - 'burma trees' and started parusing around and checking out the tourist sites.

Remember - if the tree is going to hold the helo up it's got to be strong and it's going to have quite a bit of tourque place on it.

Sorry about the big pics, but hopefully these will help you out.
