Nice! There’s a very rusty one of those near the entrance to the Cu Chi Tunnels museum. Of course now you will need to make Regional Force/Popular Force troops as those were their playthings by the time the septics got involved.

* Cu Chi Disney Experience museum. Right next to the bit where, for a sizeable amount of dong or $USD you can fire Vietnam era weapons.

My wife thought that I was mad for going there on a motorbike and then laughed at the place name, ‘cu’ in Portuguese being a part of the anatomy not mentioned in polite company and xixi being the infantile or semi-polite expression for wee. That I went somewhere that sounds like arse-wee was just too much for her.

Another preview of some impending releases, well as soon as our resin production gets back on its feet.

These are some of the Fire Base sections that we plan to release, more to be added, ASAP.

Oh and case you have not guessed yes we are still open and sending out orders like crazy. Based upon the many thanks from customers we now consider ourselves part of the mental health plan.

All good

Especially the tower... looks so much better than the burnt wood alternatives

Love the firebase Paul.
Enjoying painting the ANZACS - missed the Centurion - it was sold out by the time I saw it was available

Wonder if the M113 will get an Aussie upgrade???

Those Anzacs look spectacular - well done

Well they have the turret.

The commander's cupola will need to be removed and possibly the hole enlarged (or the turret plug reduced).

This M113 (2 of 4) is probably going to be a Bundeswehr one, hence the filling of the smoke dischargers (the lights will have to come off as well).

[Edit] I used a skirted example in the photographs above, the unskirted has the upper track present.

@ Shanec: Those Aussies are excellent, love the uniform colour. Got any more pictures?

Ultravanillasmurf · « **Reply #1945 on:** April 19, 2020, 04:34:11 PM »

Nice painting on the Aussies.

Those Aussies look the business!

@Shanec Those Aussies are perfect. Let me join the chorus asking for further pictures

Those Aussies do look good!

Where’s the upper track run on that bucket? Hoping empress will treat us with both T50 turrets and M74C turrets for the Australian buckets. The M74C version covered much of 1967-68 including, I believe, the Ba Ria and Binh Ba engagements. If it came as an extra, item that could be swapped for other turret options it would be great. The Aussie M113 also needs a new cargo hatch. Australian versions had a boxy ventilation system mounted on the hatch.

The firebase is very nice and the Aussies are outstanding. Which colors did you use?
