Spent some time this afternoon trimming a poster of a rainforest to fit the back of the shelf that I am displaying my USMC Huey on. I mounted it on a blackboard with Mod Podge adhesive. Next step will be to make a base with ground work. Of course more Marine Grunts are being planned also.

Mike,
Lots of fun with your unfolding dioramas. Love the technics you’re using.

This morning I decided to use two spare H&A "Scenics To Go" bases. I had to shave a wee bit off the edge of one to make them fit. I'm very pleased with the result.

Excellent Mike.
K&C should do a US version of their prone Radio Operator as that's what needed for your scene here Mike, obviously only my opinion.

I would certainly welcome a USMC prone AN/PRC 25 (Prick 25) radio operator. Just ordered a prone M60 machine gun team. Both the radio operator and MG team were favored targets for obvious reasons. I am also searching for VN012 another prone Grunt rifleman, long retired and very elusive.

Perfect terrain mat Mike. Bet you hated trimming it down knowing you couldn’t put it back as it was. . Robin.

THX Robin. I really didn't have a problem trimming the base. I only had to shave approximately 9.5mm off . . . Not even noticeable.

Love the terrain, Mike!

Love the terrain, Mike!

The Hudson & Allen Scenics-To-Go 12"x12" squares are very versatile. I have 12 of them. If I'm not mistaken, I believe you have some too.

Yes. I have about 12 as well. Can't go wrong with Hudson & Allen!

Thank you very much Mike. I'm really very pleased how it turned out. Now I just have to populate the scene with more Marines.

Looks great Mike, I'm still hoping for an armed Aussie version.

THX Matt. K&C certainly released a large number of Australian troops for their Vietnam series. The least they could do is make them a chopper or two. My wish would be for a USMC version of an M113 APC.

We are certainly due for some new Vietnam sets, a USMC M113 would look great with your Marine Huey.
