The water effects so far look great
Looking forward to your take on a river

I am guessing it's going to be 18 inches wide at least to scale with his trees...

This is brilliant mate 👏

Adding the animal to the terrain pieces is a great touch

[Elk101]

Really nice touches with the terrain details.

Cheers guys.

Pond layer taking longer to cure than I’d hoped and still needs a few layers yet!

However, another animal added.  Using the resin Raven and a brush bristle, I have painted him roughly as a copy of the below raptor seen in Nam.  I like it, and have more to make yet so expect them to pop up a bit yet!





I have a pair of peacock minis…so Green Peacocks can be found there.  Plus, I’ve a whole bag of chickens / cockerels etc to paint!



My replacement raised floors arrived (actually one is different and I like that one) as well as another small boat like the smallest one I just painted, that was nice of them!



Likewise small order from Empress arrived too so I will paint up one civilian for the rice field so I can start pouring it, plus some ladders for the hooches.

I ordered the FNG Tour or Duty and the ops supplement as it sounds more what I’m after for this. 

In the next day or so, I need to set up a table to see whether my jungle fits it or not, and THEN I will decide how to approach making a river…….however, I suspect it’s not going to be one that crosses the board…more likely I kind of need a “beach / edge of river” so put down one edge of the boards.

And I need to paint some soldiers.

I played the FNG rules a couple of times
They were very detailed set of rules
Never really got into them

[Digits]

As long as the rules cover snake bites I’m ok!  If not, I will add my own flavour of random encounter into them!

So the lesson here, is if you are going to cross the rice paddy and you don’t NEED to go through the water…….don’t!  Malay, or Blue Krait…..very nasty, very deadly.

Water poured….need to cure them now….

Love the snake!

But even better ( to me anyway) are there are a number of resin printed birds available.

May I ask where from?
My efforts to find any end up with  things like
 9" tall penguins or fluffy parrot toys!

Really great work on the water effects Digits, and the animals turn it from terrain into vignettes - superb.

Thanks David, a pack ordered, though mine will be
for Indo-China & NOT Vietnam.

Fill your boots!

Sparrow / Dr Bogo - cheers!


So, because my house is already like a bloody sauna today, I thought I’d quickly put up what I have to see what more I need…..
















Not bad, but room for a bit more I think!

I have two more large trees semi built, but I think ultimately, another couple on top of that should be enough……so 4 more large trees (one of which will have the crashed Dragonfly)

I have a couple of bags of bamboo left, enough to make a couple of thickets.

But most of all…..more ground cover pieces / palm stands.   

And of course, a river or river edge.

Small details still required include, pots / baskets / bird flocks / poultry / third house / pits / traps / defensive positions……and I’m always open to suggestions for other bits!

Oh, and I’m on the lookout for some swinging primates…if you know where I can source those, please let me know.

Still, I’m chuffed so far.  I could play on it, that’s the main thing.

You are photo-shopping room walls around real photos aren't you
Stunning job and a great amount of work you have produced so quickly

[Digits]

Cheers Colin!
