Not one of the more prominent battles gamed, which surprises me because it's a classic military disaster tale. Maybe because pre-America Vietnam doesn't have the same appeal.

Amazing painting!

[Luc]

Love it!!  Have you a terrain for the battle?

[FramFramson]

Liking the camo!

[has.been]

Good job sir, keep it up.

[c0cky30]

[redzed]

re you varnishing these?  as it's very flat

[Suetonius Paullinus]

@luc
Well..sort of.  



@redzed
Yep, Winsor&Newton Professional Matt Varnish. Flatter than flat

Nasty patch of elephant grass!

Lovely looking figures. You look to have the cammo pattern spot on.



These are re-enactors but you see similar patterns on contemporary black and white photos. From http://www.rolling-thunder.org.uk/rtFM1bep.htm

Nice painting.

What are the figures?

[carlos marighela]

FNG, ex Red Star, available through Empress or for antipodeans, Elite Miniatures Orrstraya. Lovely figures they are too. Paul Hicks sculpts.

I just wish they would expand the range, some more Paras for Algeria and some more run of the mill infantry figures for Indochina. The uniforms do rather limit these to '53/54.

Very nice indeed, camo looks great.

[Ballardian]

 Very nice, I wasn't aware of the range, thanks for the heads-up.
