(COMMERCIAL) Empress Miniatures' NEW Vietnam Range

[Blackwolf]

Thanks Carlos.
It's amazing what you can find these days; a few days ago I read the diary of a Captain in the survey troop! Actually very interesting, soon as I get home I'll post up the title

The Ba Ria one is very interesting, hadn't seen that before. Now to find a copy of when the Scorpion Stings! My unit was 2 Cav so a sister Regiment (rivals).

Just need a CIA agent firing a Swedish K.

 That account and others I have read vary a little in detail. Other accounts have the RPG entering the hatch and causing the fatal wounding to WO2 Antonio Parello. Parello was one of a number of Italian born servicemen to serve in Vietnam and did so with great credit. He received an MID at Ba Ria, saving the lives of a number of others and the only reason he didn’t get a bigger gong was the eligibility rules around posthumous awards. I believe he was the only Italian in the Australian Army to be killed in SVN.

I am sure we can oblige at some point.

Cool, hopefully for the Jeep as well (sorry Hotchkiss M201).

Can't wait to see those!  still enough to paint, though .

Without being, hopefully,  too much of a doom monger, I  suspect there's going to be one hell of a backlog when things get back to 'normal' and Griffin reopen as many firms also use them.

[tomrommel1]

Dags i think you might be right there! But possible Griffin set time slots you might be able to books manufacturers at least know when it will be their turn to be served?! does that make sense?

I really would not worry its all in hand with plan A,B and C plus a few others. We always lose time as sculptors hurry to keep up with our demands so this just means that we will have a ready made bus queue that will work its way through the system given time. Probably faster than even you paint. 

At the moment we are stacking up toys ready for the production to come back on line. If its takes until Christmas then so be it. We ain't going no where. Onwards and Upwards.

Just keep buying what we have 

Anyway Christine and I am planning a two week camping holiday down the bottom of the garden in the summer so that should be enough time to get things going

Just didn't want to see the thread decend to the wargamers equivalent of "are we there yet"

We are all going to have to develop some patience when it comes to getting our toys.. .

I’d caution against that if you have crates of empties stacked up in/covering the floor of the potting shed. At least prepare to affect surprise and loudly remark along the lines of ‘ Bloody cheek! It looks like  tramps have been dossing in the shed!’. 

Patience is a virtue. One just needs to think of this as a purchasing Lent or Ramadan if you prefer.
