I was rather inspired by RealSarahdactyl`s recent 21st century post of the SAS dude . So dug some old pics of mine out of one of 21st`s NAM Navy SEALS . I think he is pretty much original , though I have replaced the elastic straps with proper webbing . " Sorry Bout that " a phrase made popular from the Vietnam war by certain movies , I thought rather suited the first picture . I think those Vietcong should of done a runner .
You may see a resemblance to Blain from Predator , though he used a mini gun and not an M.60 .

Brutal combat scene... or aftermath. Nicely modeled.

Great little dio. there, with suitable posing of the figures to tell the story! I too love that bamboo hut! What did you make the frame out of?

I bet they will think twice before lacing the trail with punji sticks next time! Nice work on the posing and the hut!

Thanks all glad you enjoyed it .
The frame Barry was made from Gardening cane ...which I think is Bamboo . The Hooch needs some small repairs now , not helped by the Cat who likes to sleep in it .

Great stuff Chip!
I'm also interested in how you made the hut.
I have a couple of 21st Century, and that is a lot better figure than what I have.
As far as 21st, I mainly have the 21st villain figures. As adversaries for my modern Joes.
21st Century made great stuff.

Thanks for further comments , most kind .
The Hooch was made from gardening cane , ( Bamboo ) used to make a frame . I then cut and glued each individual reed to the sides and the roof . The roof has a hessian underlay , and was probably the hardest part to make . I have stuff to make two or three more , will try and find some more pics of this one done in stages I know I have some someplace .

I for one would like to see those photos. Your wonderful hut has re-inspired me to make a 1/6 scale tiki bar!

How is the full size version coming along? Last you mentioned, it was nearly complete!

Now Dave, you know full well that a true tiki bar is NEVER finished! Mine however is certainly "up-&-running" as they say.

Too true! Too true! There's always room for one more exotic souvenir, one more relic, and one several more bottles, glasses, and mugs!

Not forgetting a shrunken head or two? Actually my bar only has one at present, but I'm always out looking for the raw material......
