paddy field for choppers

paddy field with huey downdraft

I think you'll need to resize those Thomas. Imugr doesn't display large pics well on here for some reason.

hmm new thing for me took them with my phone old photos lol

You can send them to me and I'll resize them for you like I did for Chris. Don't mind at all.

That downdraft is fantastic! Is the Huey fixed?

no just put it on some wire for show

Nice water effect.

That is AMAZING!!!! HTF did you do that? Need to put up a tutorial!

Never thought of that. It looks fabulous. Now you need to have two paddies for each location. One for with and one for without the chopper.

Tom

got the field custom made by a friend by take cover scenics

Hi Thomas great idea m8

Welcome back Alan. Nice to see you.

When I was going through the archive discs, I came across a whole folder of your pics from waaaay back including your excellent jungle trees and Firebase Earlswood.

Cheers Todd
Photo Bucket took down 4000 pics from various forums,i do still have them all as old as they are.I`ve been working on a new Vietnam project in 28mm ......Hue City.........created a few buildings to fall in line with my buddy Spikes kit (Spike is best known for his sculpting work for the old Shell Hole Scenics and Grand Manner.And my other close gaming buddy is Ade Deacon the originator of Baker Company figs.Looking to make a 6` x 8` layout and only waiting for lock down and social distancing to let us at it as weve got everything except may be  a palace gate.
For pics i now just shoot them off my phone to Twitter or Face Book but for forums and hosting i have a Flickr account so i`ll put some in there and fire them over  cheers AL

Ps To fall in line with Spikes mini`s i had to collect Chiltern Miniatures , (they are still available through SHQ) not my first choice but they have grown on me,bought some on e bay and just added another 40 figs that i painted in keeping with the purchased figs.

nice thanks alcal like the idea mate ..

palace gate hmm could have a go at designing one in 3d

I agree Alan. I'm a big Jim Bowen fanboy, so I loved these figures for what they are. Some are better than others of course, but FULL of character. SHQ has been trying to sell the Chiltern ranges for a while now. When I last went to SHQ, I saw this message:

SHQ Miniatures wrote:Update from Peter...
Bad News - as of the 8th May I will be retiring, after ensuring that any final orders are fulfilled. My health means I just can't keep going with any of it any longer...

Good News - Ian Armstrong (who you already know has his own business as a designer at the same premises) will be starting his own company to continue the ranges; hopefully this also means the models will be back at the shows for all of you as/when travel restrictions are lifted!

So - on the 8th this website will stop accepting orders and will instead re-direct you to Ian's new venture. If you want to contact me personally at any time then please use the following email SHQ_Pete@hotmail.com.


All the best,
Peter

sad news but also good news too ...

I think I saw this on Facebook. Very cool!
Man I hope SHQ keeps going strong. I really like their minis.

I'm with you, their Nam minis are the most realistic IMHO, even though they have fragile and realistic weapons. I have a bunch. I had wished they would add to their range but never really did.

There was that band was n't there...Huey Downdraught and the Dodgers.

There is now! I think we have our act for the Saigon Gentleman's Club

-Todd

I may have lit their tour in my previous life.
