Thanks, but it can take some time, I need 1/48 US and VC Soldiers before I can start the diorama, almost impossible to get them here.

Album info

A painting of Don Greer gave me the idea to make a diorama of a Huey that just crashed in a rice field.
It was a a hell of a build, it's also my last Kittyhawk kit, nothing did really fit.
Trees and plants are made from 10 cent plastic plants for an aquarium.
The rice was a problem, I did want to make a full field and after some calculating I needed 2.300 bundles of rice plants ? I came up with the Idea to use cheap 15 cent brushes (36 in total.)
Also I couldn't find VC soldiers in 1/48 so I came up with the plan to put a invisible snipe under the bushes, you only can see his gun.
It was fun to make the heavily modified soldiers, I love to chop off arms and legs ?
Took a lot of time and modifications but I'm happy with the result.
