Love the uniforms.
Excellent painting.
I have always liked tiger stripes uniforms.
 I first saw them in Vietnam, early 1970s.
I know, I am dating myself. lol

Indeed. Nice miniatures & paintjob. There's almost no prettier sight than a tiger stripe camo. And as the the battle for control of the economical important Indian Ocean basin will heat up in the coming decades this pattern will see more use again. ;-)

Very nice, CONGRATULATIONS!   :-*

I also would like very much to see Vietnam-era SEALS with all black "pajamas", AK 47s and sandals!  ;)

GREAT!  :-*

According to Dick Marcinko, some of his men used the "black pajamas" (plus cheap chest rig + AK 47 combo) given to them by a fellow MACVSOG officer, including the then experimental "barefoot boots"...
