DIEN BIEN PHU PROJECT
By: Pumpkinking44

I started this last fall. It is a stereotypical representation of a French strong Point at Dien Bien Phu. I have to finish one of the 155mm positions, 2 mortar positions, and removal of the dead weeds ( got to love Round Up). I am looking for a couple of 5 gallon drumms to add a command bunker like I have seen in photos of the capture of Dien Bien Phu. I have a few figures left to finish off then I will get some pictures of the scene full of troops and Viet Minh attacks.

Wow!! Now that's a project what is a project. I can hardly wait to see it when it all fills out. Some fantastic work so far old buddy. Special thanks for sending these sneak peek photos in and sharing them with us. - GL
