Hello!

Except the hull, which is a part of a computer, everything comes from paper.

The materials:
- plastic from a computer for the hull,
- thick hard card for the jambs of the roof,
- thin card for the floor and the roof
- thin lead leaf for the rivets on the hull
- corrugated card for the roof
- acrylic paints
- The gas drums are in plastic and coming from armoured models
- pipe is electric wire
- a viet-french dictionary for the sign.

It took me 3 hours of work.

Voilà, c'est tout...that's all folks!

Thanh, nice work. Would you describe how you made the corrugated roofing panels, please?

Thanks!

Very well done! And quickly, too - are you adding this to a larger diorama?

Hi!

The corrugated paper is a part of a cookies' box.
I only glued it on a thin papercard.
Then, acrylic paints brushed on it.

Best regards,

Thanks a lot!

I certainly shall do an 'ephemere' diorama (built for a very short while, or part of a wargame tour), using some of my boats.
I did a PBR, a sampan, a river tug, a trawler and some french armoured LCVP.
Thus, if a wargame takes place in Indochina era, it will be with french army's material, if it is a vietnamese wargame, I shall use the 'Pibber'.

If I do pictures, I shall send them.

Regards!
