Been working on Vietnam for the last 12 months or so, on and off. As well as doing some pics for the website I've been putting a reasonable sized force together. Everything is based for 'charlie don't surf' (don't game but if/when I do Ill use this rule set). I started with a basic infantry company then other sections and support to bolt on including some air cav.
By the end I hoping to have a good sized US force with multiple support units and some ARVN allies, an Aussie company with tank support (centurions  :D) and lots of NVA and VC.

Stroll on... They look like 20mils or larger with your talented brush work. How are us mere mortals meant to compete  :'( [didn't like that phrase] Paint as good  :)

Excellent job!  =D> :-bd =D>

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Outstanding effort, Matt, and I like your vision for the future. The faces and camo helmet covers are just flat excellent.
Encumbered by Idjits, we pressed on

Hi Matt,

Did you convert the models?

I can not find all poses on in the shop.

Is it me or are your pictures a bit darker than before? From what i can see they are right up there with the rest of your figures.

Hi jass

Unfortunately there is currently only one officer model for the us troops, no ro's and no medics.

I made medics using crewmen from m60/mortar crews adding back packs and other bits.

The ro's are mostly the Aussie ones with a head swop or backpacks added to standard infantry.

I converted some of the Aussie officers into US with head swops and converting the slr into m16. One of the officers has a acw head  :D

I ve also finished a 106mm recoiless rifle and crew from an ontos barrel which looks pretty cool. I ll try post some pics tomorrow.
