Title: Baker Company Marine Force Recon
Post by: SgtMcNab on August 18, 2012, 03:17:46 PM: Hi Guys,

I thought you might like to see some Baker Company special forces painted as Force Recon from the Vietnam War.

They are painted in different uniforms types. Some have camouflage, some have tiger stripe and some have OD. The sculpting of the figures are a bit hit and miss but I really enjoy painting Baker Co figures!!

Cheers

Andy

I would hate to be the guy with all the smoke grenades on the outside of the ruck like that. He is bound to draw plenty of attention to himself at the wrong time when one of those snags on something...
