Hi All

I've been following Tang's Article with some interest, because of a future project that is going to take shape with "Welcome to the Vietnam" Campaign!

Thanks for sharing Tang and Slodder

And also: Yesterday I checked Joseph Neumeyer’s Dynamic Dioramas website and he has a new dio, called "Missing in Action" that has a very good environment full of Jungle...

Excellent article, a must read, thanks for talking the time to show us some great ways of making great looking vegetation.

Beachbum:

You really have outdone yourself. This article along with the previous one is absolutely outstanding.

Very informative, and the end result is one which any modeler would be proud to display on their diorama.

Thanks for sharing your great ideas.

Great article, very usefull for the upcoming Nam campaign!

And Rui, thanks for that link. My god what a nice diorama!

Martin

An excellent article.

Thanks CK for writing it and thanks Scott for publishing it with lightening speed !

I'm sure both of you guys made an awful lot of people happy with these two Jungle articles.

THANKS !!

Awesome, awesome,awesome!

CK Tang makes one of the best coconut palm trees I have seen. How simplistic but what a great result! I am definitely going to use this technique in on of my projects.

CK, an amazing article. I agree that this is a must read and should be part of a diorama book. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge with the rest of us. You have me motivated to do a jungle dio Kevin

Many Thanks Guys. Sorry I didn't reply earlier as I was away mucking around the plantations.

Scott, I'm really sorry about leaving out Photos #12 and #13. Will be sending them immediately to the address you PM me. I usually blame it on the old block between my ears but I think the little woman at home usually subscribes my poor memory to as an excuse to avoid any real work.

Thanks again guys and sorry for the missing photos.

CK - don't worry about the images, not a big deal.

I have updated page 3 and added the two images. Really nice pictures.

This is an excellant article you have shared with us. This will help me in my Nam dios. Thanks alot.

Thanks Keenan. Actually Costas was also involved in Part II and we shared a fair bit of info on preserving plants and he had more experience than me on using PE alternatives.

Scott thanks for the addition and the offer.

Keep up the good - Cheers here's a round on me

Dear CK i think that the combined thing of 2 parts is the best article on tropical foliage for dios i have ever read. And thats why its written from someone with practical knowlwdge on the subject , and it involves cheap and easy materials and methods. And thats what a modeller needs. Thanks u so much for taking all this time to do it . Its really a gem. Keep safe my friend.


p.s. Thanks a lot for mentioning my name , but all the glory belongs to u !!!!!!!!!

Actually Costas I mentioned your name coz in case anyone sues US for slander, plagarism, etc. it would be my "bum" and your "goose" that would get it. Its always good to share the blame. :-)

Jokes aside, the second part does reflect your contribution. Anybody who has seen your dios knows the work & research you put into your vegetation.

This going to be very helpfully when I do a dio with tree's.

Happy Modeling
Tom

Thanks a lot, CK. One of the most useful tutorials here. I'm looking at tropical vegetation everyday, and your stuff's perfect.

Although late to this party, I'd like to say thank you to the author(s) for all this work. I haven't built a plastic armour kit for 3 decades now. However I have started a 1/4" scale Cuban sugar narrow gauge railway. Living in the Great White North palm trees are hard to find (except in the City Conservatory). Thanks to you I now have a place to start modelling the jungle and savanna of Cuba.
