Personally it's nice to see even part of the concept process on bringing the range out, the sculpt looks great , gritty and determined and full of movement!

Except the Hands - they are to big - looks the rest very promising. When there is a constant growing in this range a good addition to the 28mm Vietnam-Ranges.

Great start!   :-*

Can you reveal what troops and poses that are in the pipeline?

I've long toyed with the idea of collecting some Nam stuff, this may be the range that puts me over the edge.

Regarding hands....it would be awesome if poses like this could have detached hands with Weapons options, M14, M16, M79, Colt etc  ;D

Can't wait for this! Looking good man! The hands are fine.. the boots tho.. or at least how the pants and boots meet is off to my eye, and many marines did not put pant legs into their boots. Very excited about Gringo40 and Empress vietnam ranges.

I think it looks great Ged. Are you sculpting these yourself? Or is this through another sculptor? Either way, it's a welcome range and a welcome battle focus for the Nam.

Cheers!

What a great New range Ged. Very welcome. The figures are looking great and up to the usual Gringos standards We've come to love and admire.
