Natter Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Very clever, and there's some cracking figure painting there. Never mind the VC, that's a mean looking snake lurking in the undergrowth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamS Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Made me feel a bit queezy looking at that. And was just the snake. Nice, very claustrophobic. Graham 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanfrandragon Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Great idea, well executed. Is that Charlie Sheen with the head band? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Lime Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Su-fricking-perb! A real eye for detail showing through the work, just outstanding. Mark. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golikell Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 A really great execution of true events translated to miniature... It reminds me of a episode of Tour of Duty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 This is a great, imaginative diorama, my friend. I love the way that each side has it's own underground environment - lovely stuff. Apparently, the 'Nam Tunnel Rats suffered very high death-rates and it's all too easy to see why.... Thanks for sharing with us. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Very atmospheric. I've read several books by Michael Connelly featuring a character, Detective Harry Bosche, who was, in the '70s, a Tunnel Rat. He writes quite a lot about his experiences, and it was definitely not for the claustrophobic or the squeamish. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Excellent diorama. I confess it's the figures that caught my eye. So very realistic looking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banded Krait's will do that to you. Not quite as much as a Many Banded Krait (2 step) perhaps. All in all, a fabulous presentation. Takes me back to a long ago time. And Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane doing White Rabbit really completes the feeling. The whole thing is boocoo dinky dau!

M3talpig Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Strange ....all i could hear was White rabbit playing in my head as i looked at the pics ...then i click the video and almost fell of my seat when i heard the opening cords....not often you look at a diorama or vignette and it brings forth a feeling or memory of a great film or scene from said film....absolutely awesome work. And i have to ask ......Barnes or Elias ......? Edited July 19, 2020 by M3talpig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
