US Army in Vietnam from Gringos40

Makes a change from their wide range of Marines in 28mm. Five new figures released for US Army. Up to now all we had was a dog handler and MPs battling outside the Embassy.

I think these are very well sculpted (possibly the best in the range so far) and am trying to put them into some kind of diorama. Easier with Marines. A street scene from Hue or a trench war from Khe Sanh. These need jungle or paddy fields instead.

thanks deadhead appreciate the compliment
the USA Army are very different in many
respects from the Marines and needed carefull
planning,,not just the uniforms ie different
flak jackets et all
good luck with the diorama ..look forward
to seeing the end result!!

Wow, those are some amazingly done faces, both in sculpt and painting! I mean, it's not often that you see figures, even in 28+, that actually look like different people!

thanks Darby most kind of you...!

For me it is the black guy's features that are just outstanding. Caucasian is relatively easy, with washes and highlights. I painted the same Afro American figure and he was good....but not this good. He even has eyes. I tried that and erased them rapidly. My result was more like those old Minstrel Shows than true facial features.

Want to see more now, Ged
