Nice work on the Colonel there!

Agreed.

Great character.

Tom

Thanks

Here is another combo of NCO and Radio operator with a prick 20 radio. I did a head swap on the NCO figure. The head I used is a sculpt of my head done by Paul Hicks.



A comparison with the original figure can be found here: https://wargamesgazette.com/2020/07/30/actual-of-a-new-us-marine-squad/

A few month back Empress miniatures released a 6 figure USMC Recon pack. I just started painting these. I thought it might be difficult to paint the camouflage uniform, but i think i found a way to paint it quite easily and quickly. It took me about 1 hour to finish this miniature.

Another RPG gunner on the move. I like how he carries an AK47 as a secondary weapon.

The next NVA soldier with a rare of white uniform. The uniform is shown in the book by Emering . I can’t recommend that book highly enough as it shows pictures of original equipment.
