Welcome to "Defending the Eyrie". It's a dio featuring 4 members of the Royal Australian Air Forces 2 AFDS (Air Field Defence Squadron) at Vung Tau during the Vienam War. 2 of the Adgies are inspecting their bunker, while 2 re crewing the Quick Reaction Force gun buggy.

Cheers mate. I used the tamiya pink panther, the bull bar from the mouse house land rover conversion, and mouse house resin land rover wheels. The pink panther kit is a nice kit, very easy to build.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I have the pink panther in my stash, and was thinking of converting it to a Skippy.. I'll see if I can track down the Mouse House conversion, as the wheels and bull bar would be helpful.

Cheers, and thanks again

It's nice to see a diorama of Aussie forces in Vietnam. Are those Firestorm figures? What are the ones inside the bunker?
I like your mud. What did you use to make it?
Good job.

The two sitting are the Firestorm APC riders. the 2 in the Bunker are the Verlinden Special forces (Green Berets). The mud is Spakfiller tinted with acrylic paint. I then dusted the "mud" with Mig Productions Pigments
