Very beautiful stuff 6mmwargaming

, I love so much your Vietnam terrain, that's the way I want to do my own too (remember my "old" pictures of my US Fire Support Base on this thread, the principe was the same).
Congratulations for your building, they looks very great ! Swamps look very good too, keep on this way !

Thanks guys.

It was a commission work for someone and enjoyable work (apart from the issues with the PVA)

Hopefully we'll see more from Pibber soon....

Cheers

6mmwargaming,

Terriffic stuff! But how did you do your palm trees? I've tried the GHQ method, but all I ever end up with is a mess...

I know, if at first you don't succeed -- but what about after a dozen or so tries?

Anyway -- thanks for sharing your pictures with us!

Regards,
Tom Stockton

The palm trees look like the plastic ones you can get in bulk from cake decorating stores online. I hate the shiny plastic look, but a wash and some dullcote does wonders.

Yes they are the cheap plastic trees off ebay.

I scored/scratched the trunks to roughen them up and glued some sand to the part where the trunk meets the palms and on the top as well. It helps hide the plastic joins quite well and looks like the dead parts you see in plam trees. Then I painted and drybushed the trunks and sandy bits a brown/grey colour ( I didnt worry if I got some brown on the base part of the palms).

I hope that makes sense

Cheers
Kieran

I finished my first Phantom:

Unfortunately, my pledge to only order new models when the current stuff is finished has already failed. I still have the second Phantom to finish, but I already ordered a GHQ and Mainforce VC unit and some Huey gunships from Magister Militum. Better finish the second Phantom quickly!

That is an excellent job on that Phantom. Everything looks great. What did you use for decals?

Nice job! The Phantom looks great, I really like the canopy and camo job.

The stars came with the decal sheet on the model. However, they don't have the characteristic red strip in the middle of the "wings" so I added that myself. That's difficult work, though, so I ordered a new sheet for the future.

The big letters and small numbers came from an I-94 sheet.

Just bringing this thread back to the land of the living. Come on Pibber, I know you've been working on some new and miraculous things. Let us see them!!

I agree. This thread is too good to disappear!
