Hahaha.. thanks guys.. you guys are fast.!

Yup Psyfool.. the base is from Spotlight The same one as your Dio "Frostbite". Heh.. Man.. it's not as neat as you think.. I spilt the whole bottle of Olive Darb onto the floor while painting... sigh.. :-)

Hey Danial.. well actually i'm going to add the APC on the road.. so it's going look rather cramp because of the size of the base.

Still working on it.. will keep you guys updated.

Good idea.. maybe that will be my next dio... for this one.. I'll put a Vietnam farm girl pointing directions for this group of American soldiers..

Well.. I don't really bother about the statistics... I know some modellers would make sure every mm of their kit is of right scale.. for me.. It doesn't matter.. as long as the kit's nice.. I'll get it!

FMJ is a really good show, not funny to me though.

I think the best part is the training back at their home. It is a really gory movie.

Oh yea, if you wanna see it, go online and order it. Singapore banned that movie. (dunno if they lifted the ban though)

I think I have the VCD from JB, but don't know where it is now. Can't really remember the story except that it's a bit disturbing. The recruit 'kena tekan' by the drill sgt so bad until he killed him & himself....Did I get the correct movie?

Erm... anyone seen Tamiya's French Leclerc Series 2 around?? Or is it not out yet? Read the article in TMMI, found the tank rather cool.

Greetings guys.. It's finally Done! "Which Way!?" is a Vietnam Dio showing a group of soldiers lost in Vietnam asking a Farm Girl for directions. Enjoy the pictures and do give me feedback if there're things I'll need to improve on. Criticisms are always welcomed.

Here are the re-posted pictures of "Which Way!?"




The face looks mutated on this soldier..haha.. I'm still working on both my photography and figure modelling skills.



Hope you like these pics.. there're somemore in my gallery.

p.s. Apologies for the photos... Still working on my techniqes
