Hello everybody!

Thanks a lot for your comments!

Barrett - I have tried my best to do just that!

Griffin - I thought so too, I just don't know what to put on this plate!

Glenn - yeah, heating those C-Rations! That's why I went with peaches here - because there's no heat source to be seen. Not even a C-ration can stove.

keavdog - you're right, I've always heard how important mail from home was to the people, and most of the time we see some men's magazines in the vignettes, so I tried to show reading the mail.

Thanks for looking and have a nice day

Paweł

Pawel: Great job there! And really nice work on reworking the figure, makes much more sense to have him sitting on the crate and I wouldn't even know you'd modified him if you hadn't said so.

Hello!

Thanks a lot for your comments!

goldhammer - when modelling Vietnam-related subject I especially value the opinions of the people who "been there, done that"!

Gamera - I'm really glad I did the rework, I'd hate to invest work in a vignette that doesn't really make sense to me or one that I'm not convinced about. As it turned out it wasn't very hard neither.

Thanks a lot for your kind words and have a nice day

SprueOne, Capn - thanks a lot for your kind words! They mean a lot to me!

Capn - special thanks for your research here, it was a great help for me to understand what goes where and does what! I'm sure it will be very valuable for other modellers too!

Thanks a lot for your comments and have a nice day

Hey Pawel;

You did an excellent job with this piece. Cutting him out and putting him on top of the ammo crate really put this piece over the top. You did a great paint job and everything looks authentic, especially the Covey "bug juice" cooler.

Tiger II - thanks a lot for your kind words! I'm glad you like it. That cooler - I wouldn't get it right without folks on this thread showing me what it should look like. And then I had some luck to try an idea and it worked. Now I know how to paint galvanized stuff like that.

Thanks again and have a nice day
