it is a very good picture, and a great diorama(love the thatch) !
the "chinese dude" is actually Ho Chi Minh, also known as Uncle Ho. Tet Offensive was late 60's in Viet Nam, former French colony in Indochina.Ho was the leader of the North Vietnamese forces...

It looks great I love all the detail you put into it from the dirty boots to brass colored button on the .45s holster and the faces are outstanding. I hate to be the wet blanket here but its always been a pet peeve of mine when I see a shine coming off of clothing. I don't know if its just the picture or what.

Very Nice!
You did a great job painting the figures as well as the diorama setting. The photo is a nice touch, too.

Hey freelunch,
You did a great job overall!!! Two thumbs up I say . Just like Sherman said "good workmanship" .
So how long did it take you to build overall?? Lookin forward to seeing more of your builds.
Flaps up, Mike
If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger

This is the 1/35 Dragon kit. Nothing special, I primed the figures with Krylon sandable grey, and handbrushed Americana and Apple Barrel Acrylics. Took me a while to figure out how to lay down shadows with acrylics as I had never previously done a military kit before. The walls of the hootch were made from cardboard and covered with drywall filler. Bricks showing through the cracked concrete were cut from a cereal box. The wall was primed with Krylon grey primer and airbrushed with Americana acrylics, using the salt weathering method to create the realistic chipped paint effect. Wall was further weathered with washes, a thinned paint soaked paper towel, and pastels. The thatched roof was made from broom straw and painted. The groundwork is a mixture of white glue, sand, and dirt. The dirt was painted with a red brown mix of Americana acylics to simulate the reddish brown soil of Vietnam. Various details such as the weeds were made from fishing line. The rice spilling out of the containers is just baking soda. Oh yeah, and the floor of the hootch was flocked to resemble fine straw.
