Im glad to have this one finished. I've been working on this on and off for a while now but i finally have found a scene I am happy with. Im sure there is a lot more detail that could be added. But Im ready to start finishing all the dios I have started so I can start some new ones. I would like to here everyones comments.

Good job. I really Like the tunnel rat! Keep at it, they will get better and better!

I like the punji trap in the tunnel. Great idea!!

Very nice, I like the cut away view of the tunnel and as mentioned the punji pit is a nice feature. What was the base made of?

If it isnt too much trouble, could you name the material you used for the foliage? It is very nice

Good job

Thanks guys.
Its a mix of aquaruim plants, woodland scenics foliage, and fake plants found at craft stores sorry I cant be more specific.

For the tunnel area I used styrofoam insulation. Very easy to work with when forming tunnels, trenches etc. The rest of the base is just plywood.

i love the sideview, it looks great!

Frank

Very nice, I would never have thought about doing a side view as you did. Found this site yesterday, I am amazed at you guys work.Thanks for the inspiration.

Mate that is fantabulous! Love the tunnels! Anyone can make a dio but what seperates this from the rest is definitely the tunnels as the VCs certainly used that to their advantage.

Keenan,

That was a fantastic dio that I see... Great built and idea ! Hope to see more.


Francois

excellent work!

I saw it before in progress and already than i said i like it!

good idea, and excellent work!

cheers
Mirko

Damn, you beat me with the tunnel idea. Wanted to do the same thing for the Nam campaign

You did a great job on it, nice work!

Martin

Great Job mate, i like it alot.
The supply cache is nice.
Good stuff mate, Cheers

P.s. Martin, dont worry mate, the tunnel idea has been done plenty of times and can be done again, by you!

Nice job.......Keenan

Martin... there were plenty of tunnels..... you can do one too!........

I haven't even started on my "Welcome to Nam" yet.... got the kit though.

Well executed dio, no doubt about it. Lots of different things going on, but it all ties together well. The tunnel is something else. I really was surprised when I looked at the second photo and realized it was the same dio! Again, well done on this one.

Ah, yes. Glad to see this one finished. You have done a really good job. It is a good scene with a lot going on and a lot to look at. Excellent.

Keenan,
In the 4th pic down I looked through your window and...Well, do you have a Tank parked outside. It looks like a tank's gun barrel jutting from the left.
Great Dio by the way.
Tom

I really appreciate all of your comments. I just wish I could have entered it in the Welcome to Nam campaign.


Dont let this stop you from doing the tunnel diorama. I would like to see another one. There really fun to build.


For some reason my digi cam makes them appear bigger.


Of course I had to have somthing to shut the neighbors up. :-) :-) :-) Just kidding its just a piece of pipe you see but man I wish it was a tank.
Im glad you all liked it.

Very well done I've always like jungle dios and this one is no exception and the tunnel work is a great touch as well.

Ron

Keenan lovely to se a finished piece well done my friend

Good stuff on finishing the dio, Keenan. If I'm not mistaken you have another about a stream crossing. Anyway the tunnel really adds a whole new dimension to the dio.

My only tiny nitpick is the road. It would be nice to have a bit of contrast to it as it looks a bit flat in the photo. Maybe its just the photo or the flash I guess. All in all a very interesting and well thought out dio.

Thanks CK , Im glad you like it. Youre right about the road I will keep that in mind next time.
