French Indochina War Village

Here's some pics at my effort in making Vietnamese hootches; it cost me 4 quid to make the five as I had glue/paint in the house already. The thatch is a hanging basket liner, the bamboo poles are spaghetti and the patterning is a place mat from Asda for £2 and some sheets bought from the works for a quid,  I've got enough materials to make another  2 so gotta be a bargain.. The figures are Red star French and the Vietminh are TAG  Viet Cong , the greyhound armored car is from Warlord
