And bought the first one!

Good to talk to you again.

Now I have to hurry up and paint them ^___^.

Only just  always good to see you and by Warfare we should have some more toys. Something a little different

When do you release the boats to make Apocalypse now playable?

When do you release the boats to make Apocalypse now playable?

Along with the spear- and arrow-armed natives (who will be a challenge, as never seen)? I'm not sure whether the inclusion of choppers has previously been discussed, but a crashed one in a tree would also be required for the range to tie in fully with the film, as would a stetson-wearing officer. I don't think Paul has ever stated that this is the aim, however.

To heck with the chopper in the tree, I want the bomber crashed in the river.

Ok, not forget the french family...

Air Cav are down the sculpting line so stay tuned.

However all idea are welcome incase we miss a good one.

Love the helicopter in a tree but cannot see us doing it as a release.   

Just working on a load of stuff .....phase 120!!!! whatever it is, but want to concentrate on NVA and USMC for the moment otherwise it gets silly jumping all over the place. Long hall but its worth it. Perfection is worth waiting for.

Cheers, Paul

PS had your French Indochina stuff out last night - wow, Paul Hicks is a genius!

Got some nice new stuff for French Indo China planned for the new year.

Good ideas with a focus on Marines and NVA?

USMC:

Company weapons, 60mm mortar and M20 Super Bazooka.

Sniper teams. Sniper and spotter, maybe one in helmets one in soft covers and/or boonie hats.

Engineers. Mine clearing team, mine detector and bloke probing for mines

Stingray teams (Marine Recon)

Gun crew, generic, bare torsos perhaps?

Gunnery Sgt Carlos Hathcock and his scoped  .50 machine gun (longest confirmed sniper kill until Afghanistan)

A Mighty Mite jeep.


NVA/PAVN:

SG-43 Machine gun teams

Sappers in shorts, with an assortment of bangalores, satchel charges and wire cutters

Command team with officers, buglers etc.

More riflemen and more RPG gunners.

Correspondents.

Tim Page and Sean Flynn on motorbikes.

Just spitballing as our murrican cousins say, hopefully some it appeals.
