About product

A little shop on an American base in Vietnam

This diorama set brings into 1:35 scale a small shop set up in a shipping container of the kind that appeared on American bases during the war in Vietnam. In the box there is the container with its interior equipment, a wall of sandbags and a tarpaulin, a fan, a chair, decals and two figures, a soldier and a dog.

A piece of everyday life

Bases far from home set such stalls up so that the men had somewhere to buy a chilled drink, cigarettes or small items of daily need. They tended to be improvised, covered with advertising signs and lined with sandbags, which protected against shrapnel. It is precisely such a place that gives a scene with equipment its sense: it shows that between patrols there was living too. The dog by the door and the soldier leaning against the doorframe are the whole action a viewer needs in order to stop at the scene.

How to build the scene

Let the container be bleached by the sun, that is lighten the base shade on the large areas and suggest the rust only at the edges and the rivets. The sandbags stand out when a thin brown glaze is drawn into the gaps and the tops are gone over with a dry light tone. Complete the surroundings with dust and a worn path, so that the structure does not stand in emptiness. Let the lettering from the decals crack in places or be partly covered with dirt, otherwise it looks freshly pasted up.

Recommended for

There is not. This is the structure and its surroundings; you add the equipment to the scene to suit your own intention.

Two, a soldier and a dog.

No base is enclosed. The scene is usually built on a board of your own, so that it can be carried.

Scenes from the war in Vietnam, that is roughly the 1960s and the early 1970s.
