Cheers for all kind comments chaps, much appreciated.

Great stuff! I particularly like all that terrain you also made and the little spots of colour on the ARVN here and there. This is a truly inspirational thread; not only the quality, but also the quantity and the extremely useful first post with all the links and such.

Cheers Sigur. I've thoroughly enjoyed myself working through this range, taken nearly five years!
Glad the index is of some use to more than just myself, I sometime forget what's been done/colours used etc, so made sense to have some way of finding things.

Got three left over bodies from the last lot, not sure what to do with them.

Already done the two on the left in BDQ camo & the guy with the LAWs rockets in Tiger stripe. The L & R blokes could head swap for more slouch hats.
Was thinking maybe more Airborne...

The local force figures of yours are great, Ash! I also like the use of some of the Indochina French hats in there.

Always a treat to go through this thread!

How about some National Police Field Force types? Then you can try your hand at that odd proprietary pattern based on the brown side of the Mitchell pattern camouflage. Otherwise have you done anything in the beo gam (leopard) pattern?

Police camo:

Thanks. The hats had to be done.

Not noticed that one before (plod uniform), interesting...
I've seen a few nice pieces of artwork (assume to be from Osprey books) one has a pattern similar to the Mitchell, looks like it could be Beo Gam.
Might try that on the bloke waving forward, or the LAWs rockets bloke, they could then get ranger (BDQ) badges.
The one with the ammo boxes I think I'll add to the Airborne MG team.
