My first pix on the progress. Ideally, the patrol uncovered a "CT supermarket" .

Point man and TL looking at it, while the rest of the patrol is covering them.

Comments please. Hope the pix is ok..

Your other topic has been deleted per your request. :)

The picture is a little small though. Try resizing to 800x600. Doesn't take too long to load and view.

cheers

Your pict is too small... If I'm not mistaken, all your figures seems to be in kneeling pose and scattered on a flat ground, right?

I'm no dio sifu.... but for the dio to have a more perspective look, maybe you can consider shaping the base with some high ground where the covering troopers stand and the "supermarket" lay on the lower ground (valley) where your Point man and TL will be the center of attraction of the whole dio...

As said, I'm no dio sifu... and no military expert though... I reckon the CT must be smart enough to setup their "supermarket" not on a flat ground where it can be easily spotted by any air recon.... just me 2 cents

Alex sent you a PM. My apologies again for the late reply.

As Pooh mentioned you can resize your pic. In fact we love viewing pics here, whatever the size and number. The more the better.

From what I can make out from the small pic, CP has given some useful comments on height variation for the dio. Depending on how big the supermarket is the size look ok for 5 figgies unless you plan to make the cache store underground. From the Malayan Emergency book most of the camps show a lean-to or a hut or several huts. A parade ground is even included if the camp is big enough.

Do keep posting more pics of this interesting project.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your advice, I will definately increase the pix size.

CP, you are right, it should be on a higher ground. It is currently on my working board only and wanted to let you guys see the position of the layout. It would be on higher ground where a slight corrosion had effected cached store to be exposed in the ground. That is my way of trying to show the supermarket.... there will not be any huts etc.. The idea is to show the 69ers on patrol..

Would also be changing some of the position of the 69ers...

Any other pointers are welcome and look forward to show some more pictures..

Alex.. :P
