As this is a comp build related question, I guess it should be posted here. I've been pondering over my entry for this comp and i've decided to build a diorama of an ACH-47A in Vietnam. I'm looking for a good website where I can get hold of figures, bases, materials etc for the diorama. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

This is what i'm planning to replicate, or something similar;

Hi Steve!

Great subject for the comp!

I've got some unused 1/35 figures and accessories you can have if they're any use, mostly still on sprue.

I forgot to mention it's a 1:72 build. Thanks for the offer though waghorn.

Ah I have just looked for 1/48th stuff! DoH'! hahah

I've just found these so at least I have some of the figures sorted.

Looking at a previously made diorama of an ACH-47A on this site; http://modeling.gunsagogo.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; he used the Hasegawa USAF Ground Crew set for the techies, so i'll look into that.

Glad you sorted it Steve! Rather looking forward to this!

I've ordered the ground crew and also a PM set of US Infantry which comes with 2 bases. I've no idea what the bases look like though. My next phase is to get hold of some features for the base and some detail add ons for the Chinook. At 1:72 i'm struggling
