Title: Easy Company
Post by: Mad Lord Snapcase on June 02, 2020, 10:32:26 AM

Inspired by everyone else's Vietnam project, I'm having a go myself. Only a few figures at present, but I'm having a lot of fun with them. In this beautiful weather, I thought I'd take my photos out in the garden.

A cross-border mission for Easy Company into Cambodia, with their embedded photo-journalist, Scarlett O'Hare from Newsweek.

Unbeknown to Easy Company, the VC are aware and are observing the LZ.

They are produced by Newray. It says they are 1/55. Good value for what they are.

I finished two more grunts this morning so I thought I would take a group photo of my US force so far. I need to concentrate on getting some more VC done now.

That’s a mighty impressive line-up in a remarkably short time. Lots of character and lots of characters :-*

Loving it.

Splendid.
Get yourself a case of beer for that ;)

Devon on the Mekong Delta :-* That lush West Country grass does work amazingly well.

A great start, in such a short space of time.

Just make sure you count them back in again before you mow the lawn  ;)

Many thanks for your kind comments Doug em4, Mason, Captain Blood and AKULA. I have to say I was rather pleased with how the shots in the grass came out.

Oddly enough, it was lucky I counted them before setting up the photos. When I put them back in the box, there was one missing, the bugger was hiding in the long grass!

Always a good idea to have a head count before you take the kids on a field trip!
Nice start on your forces.
