G'day guys
It's time for another update, how are we all progressing along?
Since our last check in ive seen some good additions come along, some silently added to the gallery, others in posts, just a reminder to those of you with completed work who are yet to add an image of it to the Campaigns gallery, do so! :-)
I myself have a project currently underway, not worth posting pics as it's early days yet.
Anyway guys, report in, progress pics would be great!
Cheers

Here is my entry in the Nam campaign. Main entry is the jeep. Have a diorama which depicts convoy passing a checkpoint and has a couple of girls distracting guards while a VC is in background squatting with an RPG near him
