1/18 Vietcong Sampan Boat
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2019 10:07 am
Hi Guys,
I'm not skilled in resin work, so what you can see here is an all balsa wood creation. I took time to study pics from internet and made a rebuilt of the Verlinden 1/35 big Vietcong sampan boat, a smaller boat, though. And put some customized (mainly 21st) figures looking less or more like North Vietnam soldiers (Thanks to razor17019). Sorry for the flag, I could'nt make the typical vietcong red & blue one, the colours mixed one into an other through the fabric.
I will show in the custom section how I made it, I spent very few money for this boat.
Note that the (fabric) rice bag is full of sand, as the loaded boat needed more balast at the bow to navigate well.
Hope you'll enjoy it, thanks for looking.
Chris
