The chap with the officer has a Thompson with the butt removed. See below.
And a bandaged hand. Nice detail.

The NVA look good.

I will be interested to see how they compare with your Viet Minh (and your USMC of course).

Loving the NVA. Pith helmeted versions next?
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

Very nice additions indeed!!!! Like the NVA very much and the RTOs are stunning!!!!
A question I asked on Facebook already repeated here : how many radios in a platoon ? Did the sections/squads have a radio ,too?
In hoc signo vinces

Have a look at www.wargamesgazette.com

Fantastic stuff once again! Good to see some Vietnamese!
What happened to the little guy shown here a few weekds ago? I hope he hasn't been scrapped with these size discussions....really liked the look of that one!

Thanks for that. No he is still in the pile. We are doing NVA then moving to VC. He will no doubt pop up then. ;)

The level of detail on the RTO pack is superb! These could well be used to replicate the photo of an officer, radio man and marine on the citadel wall (they are crouched down with the Dong Ba tower in the background). One of the group is holding an AK (might make a nice figure  :). Guess they would use captured weapons from the NVA? I think it is Sgt(?) Maurice Whitmer in the History Channel film who talks about running out of ammunition and having to throw bricks at the NVA (that would make another nice figure!) He also relates how the NVA popped up "like Prairee dogs" from the spider holes and tunnels built into the tower and the citadel walls.

Anyway, will wait for the M48 to be released before putting a vehicle order in but these need to be bought asap!

Many thanks. Yes we have plans for some strange weapons / figures. Just working through the meat and potatoes so to speak. As I have said this range will be HUGE and will take time to get to where we/ I am happy.

Gorgeous work! I'm still wavering between scales, but these NVA and that RTO pack might just be the deciding pieces ;)

Really excited for some ANZACs and local force ;)

Empress size 28mm is the way to go  lol

RTO pack is wonderful! As is the NVA. I like the radioman having a cigarette the most!  :D :o
