Thanks for the kind words chaps, always very much appreciated.

I still appear to be churning out Futon sized 'sandbags'.
Don't seem to notice until I add the little blokes for a picture.





Currently out of 'Nam' stuff.
Only other things that I might add are from the Indochina range; Vietminh assault troops (probably with some head swaps) and the recoilless rifle teams.

Love that bunker.  The Duster looks good, too!

If you're going through withdrawal, you can paint some of my Nam stuff for me...  :D
I won't even charge you for the privilege...!  lol

Despite telling myself no more ARVN airborne, having done an MG team to go with the advisors it seemed like a plan to at least do a complete squad.
Picked up a couple of packs that should provide enough bodies inc an M79 bloke.
So far just a few head swaps. Probably going for a mixed bag of camo patterns...

Wot he said.
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

Thanks Rick, yeah 'ti's my attempt at it.
I'd had a go at it before on the' Norman' figure, and few extra bodies for my spares box.
It's probably a bit brighter than it should be and possibly missing another shade of brown in the mix.
I did this lot to match the previous attempt.

I'd say keep it as it is. Although based on British windproof, as you know, it was a richer/more vibrant palette. You've captured it well.

Thanks guys.
Here's the next section.
Went with that ARVN version of ERDL (same as the rangers) on a couple of helmet covers, then the chap with the longer jacket I tried the older French Lizard pattern.
