Hoi Chris,
This looks to be a very well detailed dio mate, however i think that you could take some better camera shots so we can see your dio more clearly!!
Also, do you have any pics of the dio during your building progress?I'd really like to know how you went about achieving the river water.

Great work - right up my street too... Have resolved the issues around my in-progress dio and will post in a new topic today, but yours has given me some food for thought. I have two PBRs and I want them moored up like yours; what did you use for the water? I was going out this weekend to get dome clear casting resin for the initial tests but if you have another method please share! Those figures are great too - I'm guessing they're oop now, they don't look familiar...
Keep up the good work

Overall, the layout is good and shows some good building and painting skills.
You might want to revisit this. Looks like you tried to convert a .50 cal into a mini-gun. Very different beasts, Legend makes a nice resin kit (2 miniguns to a box). There also appears to be a scrathbuilt grenade launcher that looks "off". There are a number of kits that have pretty accurate reprpesentations of this weapon. You have one of those horrible old Tamiya gerry cans with only two handles. The guy in the twin .50 tub looks to have very odd skin color.

Theres certainly a lot of things to look at here. Perhaps even too much?
Your painting is well done, and the variety in figures and equipment is great. Perhaps some more litter since it looks like a permanent firebase that has been there for some time.
Good work. Thanks for sharing

Nice attention to detail, good variety of figures, I like it. We don't see enough dios from this era.

From the closeup shots you have, it does look quite good. It'd be nice if you could snap a pic or two from a wider angle, so that we can absorb the dio in its entirety...
