Full Metal Miniatures USMC Complete
« on: March 29, 2020, 09:53:38 PM »
Here are my first attempt at 28mm USMC for Vietnam. All of these are from Full Metal Miniatures. iPhone photos so not the greatest shots. I would like to think my shading is a little more subtle than what shows up here!

Really enjoying this project!

Looking good!

Very nice! I bought the DVD set of the PBS Vietnam War series by Ken Burns and have been watching it these last few weeks. Those look quite the part!

Only going by the Vietnam films and real 60's Youtube footage I have seen, but your colours look spot on and the whole unit has a great look.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.
