Thanks guys. I added some pigments, mainly to the stone, just to make it a bit grubby.

Took some pics with NVA

Thanks David.
I'm thinking now that I should have beveled the edges on the other jungle bits, ho hum.
I'll stop taking pictures of this thing now...

Magnificent bit of terrain. Just needs Marlon Brando and Dennis Hopper look alikes!

I just thought, I have some of the Indo China French blokes, should have seen what they looked like in the jungle.

I recall Paul mentioned, a while back, that Dennis Hopper's character may put in an appearance in a pack of Photographers at some stage; the other's being Don McCullin, Catherine Leroy & maybe Larry Burrows.

Superb. :-* :-* :-* :-*

I saw that on FB, looking forward to seeing it make an appearance in a new terrain piece.
It's not a bad casting, only one really bad seam on mine, which hides fairly well. A small hole (with a pipe) on the back, presumably for attaching an air hose.
Plus a rather large gap in the top of the head ( for the bubbles to escape). Easy to fill, anyway. Then just gave it a coat of primer etc...

I bet they'd look pretty good.  Or Vietnam US Army/USMC, British/Commonwealth WW2, Japanese WW2, pulp, or, or, or....it's a pretty versatile piece actually... :D
