discussion "Let's soak their washing!" Vietnam Swift Boat (PCF) Mekong Delta.

[spanner570]

Here is my finished Revell Swift Boat (PCF). The crew are having some fun trying to flick the boat's wash at some local's washing on a small river in the Mekong Delta.....


Just a pity I was unable to find some 1/48 Marines to pose onboard. I'll keep looking.


Just a handful of far too many pictures I took!


I hope you like the end result.

My god that is impressive I thought I was looking at a real picture at first, incredible work on that water. Reminds me of apocalypse now.


This is a perfect example of how a decent set of photos take the model to another level, I need to find the build thread now.


Cheers


Phil
