Superb!

Thanks chaps, I've painted up most of this range over the lock down months inc the Aussies and the NVA; I'll put the yank pictures in this thread a pack or two at a time.

NAM3 was the first pack I bought, I've since redone the faces a bit.
Also using a different camera now, the white balance on the old one looks a little bit 'pastel'.

Thanks Todd.

Here's my second go at pack NAM10, couple of head swaps, and some hoods to look like some are wearing USN waterproof jackets.

Crouching bloke comparison. I missed finishing off the ammo belts on the first.

Those headswaps turned out really nice Ash! LOVE the NVA flag draped over that grunts ass-pack! cheers

by Ash Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:55 am

I wasn't sure what it was suppossed to be, so the first one I thought looked the part of a waterproof stuffed over the butt pack and for the second the flag just sort of worked. Made a nice excuse to add some colour other than shades of green.

My efforts with the FMJ figures, still thinking about having a go at the helmet graffiti.
I recon they may have missed a trick with the Hartman & Pile minis, as I think they would have made a great sniper team; Leonard with a scopped version of 'Charlene' & the Gny.Sgt with some binos.

Cor, that's the stuff! Cool

by Ash Wed Oct 28, 2020 2:26 am

Cheers chaps.

Here's a new one. Picked up the helicopter gunners, just because they looked so cool.
As I have no helicopters in this scale, I thought this one would look the part of a downed crewchief.

Thought he'd work quite well with the piggy-back duo from the bailed out tank crew.

The rest of the Mighty mite crew and the Jeep crew (NAM19) I used as tank riders and for a HMG team.

just a bit of fun. Made the sand bags out of Miliput; first ones came out looking like bags of cement, the second attempt was a bit better as they were a bit thinner.
