As I can be a very impatient guy I tried out a different. Miniature manufacturer. I have completed quite a table full of Vietnam terrain but have no inhabitants so I didn’t want to wait until Empress Miniatures brings out civilians in their Vietnam war range and bought some from Full Metal Miniatures. Don’t get me wrong, you can never have to many civilians, so i will buy the Empress ones, too when they are avalable .

As you can see the figure hight is comparable, the Full Metal Miniature in the centre of the picture is just a bit chunkier. For me it is a close enough fit to use miniatures of both brands on the same table.

Thanks for bringing this company up - I wasn't aware of them, but see some potential uses for other times...

Another Full Metal Miniatures figure. A Vietnamese civilian having a short brake or is he spying for the VC?

Looks very good - well done.

You must have quite a large collection by now.
Please can we have some group pictures of each army?
I am interested to see how the contrast paints look from normal gaming distances.
