They look great. I have some of those I got second hand years ago. But never knew where they were from. So now I know.

Outstanding!

Would you mind sharing your paint details/recipe/number/manufacturer/etc.  I have some mid tech sci-fi to do and your colour scheme is perfect for them

I will be the minority here, but...

while I think the painting is good, I really do not like the figures. I had them in the past and then I gifted them, painted, to a friend. Why?

They are huge (they are, were, marketed as 32mm and it was possibly and understatement) , and the opposition is a tad cartoonish. The poses looks good on the painting table. but some of them are a bit idiotic on the table.  On top of that the range never really took off.

By the way... they are not US Infantry but US Marines. The M16A4 was never issued to the Army. I know I am picky!  :D But I dislike when Army and Marines are confused together.
