You can go through some Vietnam books for your ideas. I bet if you checked your local library you'll find a ton of books on the Vietnam war. Just thumb through a few pages and pick out the ones you like. Look here,

Take a look here and you might find something you like. http://www.popasmoke.com/visions/index.php?page=view&start=2&category=37 Something I have not seen in a dio is artillery maybe you do a scene from a fire base.

Hi A-Train,

Like most of the guys have said, photos of the war are good references. It also helps if you've narrowed it down to a town, village, jungle or river scene. I'm planning to do 2 dios on Vietnam, one involving the SEALS and the other SOG (if I managed to get the Dragons sets on SOG and NVA sappers). Anyway here's a couple of links on photos that may help:
