I have started to stockpile plastic plants in order to build jungle terrain. Just because of this thread. Once I have mu jungle built I immagine all of these marines have been released.

So thanks for that.. As if I don't have enough projects...

Did that about three years ago. Spent the summer months making jungle terrain. Forward planning

Latest figures look great but any chance of some slightly more vanilla advancing or firing chaps to bulk out the platoon? The last couple are so distinctive, they’ll stand out as multiples. Thank gawd for the bits box.

Hey Joe, where are you going with that gun in your hand..

Maybe it’s Country Joe?

And it’s one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam.......

And it's five, six, seven,
open up the pearly gates
ain't no time to wonder why,
whoopee we're all gonna die

As many vets said they had a difficult war but the best sound track.

However worth noting is;

"44 Years Ago Today The Vietnam War Officially Ended! Take A Moment to Remember the 58,220 Lost!"

Note sure about that number as I have heard a lot higher figures for the US alone and it does not include the Vietnamese which is numbered in the millions nor I suspect the other allies. But still an interesting anniversary.

Calimero · « **Reply #414 on:** May 01, 2019, 03:24:11 PM »

That number could be right... IIRC, I’ve hear the US suffers around 60000 casualties during the war.

Another number that seems a "little low", is from Ken Burn’s Vietnam war documentary stating that "only" 20% of all US troops involved in the war where "combat units"...

When are the Viet Cong guerrillas turning up?

Empress, I am really impressed. I ordered this weekend.
And today the miniatures allready arrived.

The usual order and shipping experiences I have from the UK to the Netherlands are at least 4 weeks.

Loving this Your Daily Marine thing
