These are great, like the mix of camo/non camo.

These look cool - presume they scale match with the US vietnam figures?

They match the Empress Miniatures US Vietnam figures but I can't comment on other manufacturers.

Them fellers look great!  I too dig the differences in color, camo, and kit.  Helps make each fig his own man...

Anyhoo - well done!

Thanks very much. I have started on the North Vietnamese. Loads of variety in the uniforms and weapons for them as well.

Some more superb work  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Got a beret head set to release in the next few days when we catch up from shows etc so you may want to keep an eye out.

In the meantime well done. So nice to see collectors enjoying our toys  ;)

It was a pleasure working on the figures. Glad I was able to do them justice.
