The M113 at work (3 Viewers)

[villagehorse]

What a great machine spanning some 40 years service, these are posted to Vietnam 1968. You have done a fantastic job Andy with this one. Thanks to my good friend Howard and the painting skills of Obee, I have a variation already. Excited about where this series may go. Robin.

Robin mate,
Outstanding cobber. Two down and another 11 call signs to go to make up a full Troop.{sm4} The best range Andy and K&C have every released and much more to come.

Cheers Howard:salute::

As always, a stunning diorama and lovely clear photos.

Your new addition looks great, as is the scene.

Robin,

it's good to know that 20 Mike has gone to good home, an unique vehicle.

29 M is almost ready to head to Wallan for the big diorama next month, and I will be looking forward to seeing the whole group all together,

John's done another fine job on renumbering and adding the Red Cross Robin. You'll be ready to treat wounded diggers and capture the hearts and minds of the local populace maybe with health care.

Is that a new bridge in your diorama Robin ?

Wonderful setup and display, Robin.
Non-combat scenes can offer so much variation, and you took advantage of that.

Nice attention to smaller (but important) items. Stellar photos.
Not my series but I will ALWAYS enjoy a job well done.

Great looking M113 and scene Robin.

 

[tmanthegreat]

Very nice setup! I like the looks of that K&C M113, particularly the way they did the tank rider figures.

 

[joesgis]

Robin, I gotta get one of those along w/ the riders- looks great! That's a nice scene you set up. Thanks for the photos. I'm always glad to see how much fun you have - Joe

1968, Aussie's over run a Viet Cong stronghold in the battle of Hat Ditch and deny the enemy a base for supplies. Robin.

 

[villagehorse]

The supply base is secured, no sign of the VC, but they can strike at any time. Robin.

Great photos Robin of your diorama, I hadn't realised it was that large ! :salute::

Already there's a lot to spot in the scene, like the Scout dog 's handler, Presumably the dog has smelt the fisherman !

Looks like the VC are starting to gather on the other bank of the river. Question is do they have another go at hitting the bridge as there's a couple who might have explosives in those cases they're carrying !?


Really enjoying your scene with all the sense of drama !

[villagehorse]

Thank you Steve, coming from the master of drama and acquisition of accessories as you are. The dog is from the Marine handler and he is located almost invisibly, lower right of the scene. Sure am having fun with this series. Strange, I intended that I would not collect anything beyond 1945.^&grin, Robin.

The real size of the diorama is .... simply a visual treat. Robin I really admire the detail you've added especially the Australian Red Cross markings on the storage boxes.

 

[TomNT]

Again Robin, this is a nice scene with so much to look at. The M113's are excellent and I love that bloody great steamship!

I "ditto" Tom's comment. Like Steve's work you have put a lot of work into this stunning display. A lot of fun, hidden details to uncover.
I loved that Steamship the first time I saw it and it fits so well in this setting.
Thanks for starting off my day with a wonderful effort.

The entire scene is so well done! But the steamship steals the show. Terrific dio. Chris

 

[waynepoo]

Imagination is the essence of diorama creation, the wonderful figures and vehicles we all collect are just dust collectors when left sitting on shelves in cabinets. Robin you have imagination in abundance and it is always a treat to see that imagination on display. Such a vast collection must allow endless creativity and you never fail to exercise it......

 

[villagehorse]

Thanks again guys. Wow high praise Wayne, makes me feel it's all worth while, especially coming from someone who is the master of authentic scenes.:salute::, Robin.
