Some lovely Paul Hicks sculpts for the Empress Miniatures Vietnam range, had them for a while and Ash's excellent paint job shamed me into starting mine. Patrol 22 done, patrol 24 next before it gets broken up (if you know, you know lol)

Just seconding the previous comments, great work on the camo, and you have managed to add face paint without it looking unreal. Very nice job!

Great painting Rick - really like the overall look. But the detail on the camo is fantastic, gives the detail, without looking messy.

How did you get Paul Hicks to do 90mm figures?
