Just for completeness I thought I would some the progress of my Nam project.
I used all the stuff in these pictures in my round 10 entry for the LPL.
For the entry I built the bridge and island, two Airfix jungle outpost kits and a school house. The river parts were old beach sections that I made years ago that needed a lot of care and attention. I had to replace the old water sections with new bits of wood which I painted and varnished. The beach and the rest of the boards were fully repainted as well.
For the rest of the scene I built and painted four helicopters, two Huey B’s, 1 Huey C gunship and a Loach. The kits don’t come with any crew figures, so I had to paint 12 lead figures. Mostly Qualitycast ones I got from Malamute but the two crew for the Loach are from SHQ, as the Qualitycast ones would not fit very well.
Sorry for the number of photos.

I struggled to get it all into one picture in the LPL and was slaughtered.
Didn’t do very well at all.
