Using what I had available to me and having never been there myself I put together two vignettes that began as a stopgap between wwII ideas,they turned out to be actually quite fun.The first one is an American Field Command Post in Vietnam and the second is the Vietcong.

And the enemy.......

The sandbags in the CP are the Tamiya goodies so gives you an idea how long ago I did this one,yikes!! Smile [:)]

Hey Grandad,the bamboo is something that grows wild in our backyards here on
Vancouver Isle,it`s called tubegrass! Cut to length,let dryout and it looks exactly like
bamboo.
