UH-1C "SEXY SNAKE" DIORAMA

Andy,

Thanks for the pics.Yes these are the 2 pics I already have,from there website.That is exactly the type revetment I hope to reproduce.Thank you,Chris

Chris,

This is the best i can do, as far as 114th guns revetment pics go, (though i expect you already have them) i have a couple of 114th "Knight" slick Company revetment pics but they are not the "L" shape that you are looking for.

Hey all,

Thanks for the comments.I finally got hold of a decent digital camera and have been expermenting and thepics sometimes come out looking a little blurry but I will post some pics of the materials I have to work with and you guys can kinda get an idea of how I intend to build the revetment and you all can tell me if it looks up to speed or if you would change something.Beleive it or not I am cabable of developing my own thoughts and ideas,I just want to make sure I make this as accurate as possible, and value the opinions of those who were there, as well as any others who wish to help.Thanks guys! Chris

Chris,

Sounds good. Like Mel says, i dont think ive ever seen a picture of ammo storage areas in a revetment. That would probably be asking for trouble! though thats not to say they didnt exist. Heres a few shots that might come in handy.

Chris,

Your revetment sounds good for a diorama.  As far as a rearm point they were usually set up close to the refueling point and were usually a sandbagged bunker or conex.  These were some times set up at forward firebases so you wouldn't have to return to base and stay closer to the fight.  There wasn't an area in the revetment for ammo storage that I recall.
