Pauls new Vietnam diorama (3 Viewers)

[Norman508a]

My son has started work on a large diorama for our display cabinet, apparently his Marines need a home.
I have been wrangled in some painting and casting, we limiting ourselves to 2 hours a night and seem to on the same page about the style.

A couple of photos from last night, the round archway i made a while ago and now the young fella's changed his idea of what hes building.{sm3}

At first it was going to be some jungle and a U.S base, now it's some jungle and as he put it - "you that building the marines were in, in full metal jacket".

It's looking like a really cool project. The best part is; it's you and your son building it.

Paul decided to get back into his diorama and of course changed direction, it will now have a village instead of the building out of full metal jacket.{sm3}
We are going to have fun cutting all the brick work off and when i say we it will be dad.

Thank you gentleman,

The best part of his renewed interest in his diorama was he decide fathers day would be the day.

I also find my son is more open to discuss any issue's that he wouldn't normally let dad know about while we work on dioramas together.

Paul's Jungle / ruined Temple diorama looks excellent and I love those creepers.

I can see that I'm going to have to step up my game. :salute::

Hey Steve,

The creepers are hopps for model railways, i will see if i can find a product code when i get home.

Work always seems to get in the way of diorama building.{sm4}

We have started the village and when i say village it will only be two buildings.
I was left by myself for a while and started this building, young fellas not sold on it.{sm4}

 

[Norman508a]

We have ditched the building we made early for this version.

We now have room for another hut.
