Firing an RPG2

Empress has some different Vietnam future releases and releases next week. Stay tuned.

Fingers crossed for some ARVN.

Yes but are they Dunlop or Pirelli?

Not sure, did Paul consult the calendar?  ;)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Absolutely brilliant! Lovely details! I love the way Paul Hicks sculpts folds in cloth such much ;D

One tiny suggestion: in all the backpacks there is always the full count of rockets...it would be nice to have some that had already fired a few (not full backback) or may one missing and being sold a part so that it can be laid on the base!

He's not allowed the Pireli one it makes his hands shake.  :o

Question. Will there be a recoilless rifle for the NVA/VC or do I need to get cracking on converting the Vietminh one?

What about Koreans? Specifically marines, who allegedly had "muscles in their $#~t". Now, that's what I call a sculpting challenge.

In time we hope to cover off the South Koreans but they are sadly a way down the line.

Ok so I just placed my first small order for a few packs of US to get me in the zone.  I had been aware of this a few years since Paul told me they were coming out.

I have been biding my time (moving house, other projects etc) but now I feel I can devote time to making the scenery I will want to play.  I have a few village  buildings to paint, some bamboo forests half complete.  For me though, the challenge is to find a few scale hueys, VC and a plethora of villagers.  Then I will escalate it.....

Hi Digit.

Yeah about three years ago outside the AC. I remember that.

VC and villagers will be along in a few months.

They are bril. Any chance of seeing one side by side with one of the marines? I’ve been holding off until Elite Oz has more of the range and whilst I finish the USMC.


The NVA has slightly bent legs whilst the USMC has straight legs but not you can see the difference. Same dollies as we did the FIC range.
