Rob.

Enjoying your Jungle Scouts thread. Think you might like these pics from my "On the Road to Mandalay", thread a while back.

Hi Steve,
Love your jungle setting and it looks like you've got a nice collection of Jungle Aussies and TG Japanese. Thanks for sharing.
I like how you combined the Japanese gun to the Bantam. You know, my Bantam is tan (missed out on the green version).
Great dio!
Really enjoying TG's Aussies.

Thanks Rob !

I reckon my interest in this range primed me for my Vietnam dioramas !


I tried to make it look in the Japanese troops with the Jeep and Howitzer pic, that they were trying to repair a breakdown and think I said at the time they were blaming the driver for having not chosen a Japanese vehicle ! :tongue:

Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite among the series, WWII USMC in the Pacific, WWII Jungle Aussies, or Vietnam? We even have Korea now.
I know you've posted some amazing jungle shots from all the themes (with perhaps the exception of Korea).

Cheers Rob !

Both WWII Pacific USMC and the WWII Jungle Aussies, I enjoyed collecting.
These days my money mostly goes into Vietnam ranges. It's a real shame that TG's Vietnam range are a bit on the small side as they could of covered a lot of what K&C may miss out on. Hoping that they will reconsider re-releasing the two smaller Jungle huts again, which sold out pretty quickly on their original release and with the K&C Vietnam range being around now would I'm sure find many ready customers. The Larger one, which I do have is fine, but for many would be taking up too much space.
Oh, I did do one Korean war scene. But it's not something I find grabs me in the same way as the others had /have.

I have some Vietnam from Collector's Showcase (Huey & some figs), but that's it. Really did not want to start another theme after WWII Pacific. I had started with TG's Japanese Gun which really got me appreciating the detailing, esp. the facial work of the figures which seems to stand out for me. Having started a modest collection of Japanese, it led me to the Aussies to counter them. My K&C USMC are busy fighting K&C Japanese.{sm4} Now I have a nice balance, although I need one more Aussie. Certain themes I seem to start collecting after a few years from original release.

Same thoughts for me in re. to TG's Jungle Houses, think I mentioned it before as well. I've tried finding these sets from 2nd hand sellers to know success. Maybe if enough of us ask for them, TG will oblige.^&grin
 
Even Aussies love Dodge with this Jungle Hopper:

Is it just me, or does the Aussie with Bayonet look like Harrison Ford? ^&grin
 
The settings for these two scenes work really well. The Dodge makes for a great centrepiece. Robin.

Thanks Robin. My Dodge has seen a lot of 4-wheeling action, but have been wanting to feature with some Aussies for a bit. Appreciate it.
 
Hi everyone,

Just a little shot from this morning:

We may be seeing some new "all-action Aussies" and the jungle huts have me really excited!
 
Hi Guys, hope everyone is doing well.

Over the weekend, I was taking some photos and came across an old statue. Thought I'd incorporate in a scene. A little shiny for a jungle ruin, but thought I'd post anyway. It's fun to add different pieces/elements in dioramas, something many of you are very good at doing (me, not so much).:eek:

Sunday afternoon would find these Australian jungle scouts along the river's shore with Bantam Jeep:

Thanks Robin, tried hard to incorporate the statue. Not quite what I wanted but made the best of it. Appreciate it.
 
Morning all, hope everyone is doing well.

An Australian emplacement soon to be under attack by Japanese:
