28mm Empress USMC ANZAC ARVN

Looks really good Ash! Keep the thumb print, adds character and texture, as well as a positive form of I.D.

Now see, if you were playing in "Gods Own Scale of 15mm" you would have had several options for both turret types... ;D

I did notice, during 'the hunt', that there were options available in that eye strain inducing scale.
I find even painting 20mm a challenge these days, too long spent on braille scale Bush Wars did it for me.

Really nice work on that.... and it would appear that I have made exactly the sane mistake with using a T50 turret for my ARVN carriers too!!!

Had a go at a Gage, went with a less grubby look.

nice indeed

Here's the whole lot:

All the Marines

Ash, you did my Marines proud! Beautiful job, you definitely
covered all the base between the magnificent fire base scenes
and the USMC armor. Very reminiscent of Khe Sanh.

Semper Fi!

Sam

Thanks Sam

Here's all the SOG & LRRP teams

Here's all the ANZACs

Got the latest ARVN pack from Empress. Added the three troops to my BDQ Ranger platoon.






... and Norman in advisor mode, sporting my attempt at 'bullet proof' camo...

More great brushwork Ash! Figures are quite nice as well.

simply stunning

Beautiful stuff Ash. So, when are we coming over to your house to play?

Cheers guys.
Had a rummage through the just about empty spares box, and found another couple of ARVN blokes from the AFV crew pack, and a lonesome ANZAC. After a bit of minor adjustment, the Aussie has now joined 'Norman' in his advisory capacity, and they have an MG team to keep them company.






Took the opportunity to upgrade Norman with his US wings and name tape badges.

Oh wow! You did nice work on these too Ash!

Thanks Todd, bit of a fun way to clear out the spare bits box, no intension of adding a platoon of Airborne...

Added a few more bodies to my little 'Mike' force. Troops from ARVN packs with Vietnamese slouch hat heads from the Indochina range.

Great work on those Ash!

Thanks Todd.
Here all the 'local forces' blokes. Mike force, MACV-SOG, ARVN scouts etc

Looking good!

Agreed! Looks great!

Here's the last three blokes from those packs.
Did two in an attempt at Beo Gam camo, and the third bloke added to the Airborne MG team.

Yeah those look the part for sure! Great work!

Very impressive indeed. Lovely colours and finish. Inspiring.
