Lots to admire in this thread but that Embassy board really is the cherry on top. Brilliant.

Funny thing is that yours is a much better model than the one in the museum in Saigon. Really top notch work mate!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Salute 50 yesterday: pictures of the Gringo40's table "Attack on Saigon Embassy '68" Left to right: me, Anthony Meekings from Debris of War, Ged Gerard Cronin the Gringo himself and Geoff Lacey Purple Lion Creations. The table was a collaboration and we all payed our part. Paul Edwards (not pictured) from Sabotag3d sourced and printed cars, tuk-tuks and scooters. We made a great team. The table looked even better when it had Ged's excellent "Nam" minis running around and a helecopter on the roof. Trouble was too many people watching made for poor pics.

Lovely!  Just lovely, I tell ya!

I painted my figure in ERDL.  If you squint, the XM-177 looks kinda like an M4, and ERDL can be easily mistaken for woodland camo.  My MACV-SOG guys now do double-duty in both Vietnam and more modern venues.
