I need to know where I can find the lights for it. I need small ones the size of bead or smaller. Where are there Vietnam figures that arent resin from Verlinden. I need plastic ones. Ywo black guys, 3 white guys, and an assortment of everyone (about 13, 14) and luggage.

Yeha, I just watched the movie again and caught teh technical aspect that it is a PBR Boar (PBR Streetgang, duh!) Also, your the first person to make the connection between my name and the movie, finally. I would ove to see how you made your boat. I keep watching the Do Lung Bridge, to see every part. I'll make the part right when they get at teh mouth. I alread planned for bnackround figures, little sihouetted VC (probably not visible unless I point them out), Lance's Face Camo, thatch repaired roof, etc. I am going to get into this project. Ill finish my other things while I research this topic more. Any tips on scratchbuilding and resin casting is appreciated as I don't know how to. Thanks a whole lot Heavy Arty.

Tamiya makes a Mk II PBR boat in 1/35 scale. It is the same boat as in the movie. I made mine into the boat near the end of the movie when they reach COL Kurtz's (your) lair at the temple. Here is the Tamiya PBR. http://www.greatmodels.com/cgi/display.cgi?item_num=tam35150

Apocalypse Now

How cool would it be for an Apocalypse Now shadow box of the Du Lung bridge with the pt boat in fore ground, bridge in backround. Anyone know where i can get the pt boat (and if your good at knowing this, how bout all of the details such as decals, which i will probably paint on, figures, dog, PE parts and a good insulator ans bulbs to simulate gunfire explosions and lighting.) The PT boat must be 1/ 35 scale and the figures 1/35. i will probably convert some railroad guys for a backround and scrathbuild a bridge from balsa. I saw a good PT boat by tamiya and verlinden. Im not good with resin, and well detailing. any tips etc on this is greatly aprecitated. i got most of my research from the movie, like markings. Ive seen Full Metal Jacket vignettes so i asume there must be an Apocalypse Now thing since the movie is, well, godly. Maybe ill make a diorama of a pt boat being dropped by a huey........so many choices. You can decide for me, i dont have much will power.....................kidding. Thanks.
