Hi Guys,

Yesterday we presented our two Australian Army Land Rovers with the promise that we would show them in a diorama setting... Here it is.

The setting is typical Vietnamese Land Owner’s, or perhaps a local Village Chief’s compound.

Australian troops, acting on a ‘tip-off’ have searched the compound and found a cache of Viet Cong weapons as well as some local VC... After a brief shootout 3 of the VC lie dead and one female VC is taken into custody.

The diorama itself measures 3’ long x 2’ wide and took just over 3weeks to construct and paint… in my spare time.

Hope you like it.

All the best,
Andy

Nice diorama, the Vietnam series is pushing ahead, there is one classic vehicle that is a must, a Tuk Tuk

Thinking another figure would have been nice in the compound, that being the upcoming village elder, could see him as the owner and under suspicion {sm4} , Robin.

Andy mate,
There have been some excellent Dios shown on this Forum this year, but as a totally mad K&C VN range collector, this one of the Land Owner's Compound is the absolute best. Love it with the Aussies on deck but it would also be a great one for the USMC VN range.
What ever my good mate Robin bids for this Dio, then I will double it.{sm4} This Dio is a work of NAM art. A must have.

Cheers from the Land Down Under, Howard

Thankyou Damian, re the little 2CV Citroen...I bought it in a great little, old-fashioned toy shop in Paris a couple of years back.
It's a wee bit 'under-scale' maybe 1:32 or so but looks OK as a background vehicle.
Best wishes to all my mates 'down under' for their fantastic support and enthusiasm for the whole 'VIETNAM' range of figures, vehicles
and now...dioramas!
Andy.
