The next figure is a NVA light machine-gun gunner. This time in classic green again.

Here is the next figure or better group of figures for my US Marines in Vietnam. This is more like a little diorama as I placed two figures on one base. it is a radioman and an NCO using the radio. So they are connected by the Radio handset line and i couldn’t find a way to base them separately. At least convincingly.

First the NCO:



second the Radioman:

May I ask you if the colored spots on the helmets are the real colors you intended as camo cover, or is it the light that makes it so bright ?

Great looking project!
I don't want to be "that guy" but the one hour skirmish wargames rules you have slightly wrong. (I only noticed as it was you that put me onto them).
The suits for the cards only applies when the value is a draw.
(for example a 8 clubs is higher than 7 spades).
And shooting ends a models activation so models and shoot multiple times in a player phase.

Sorry.
Like I said project looks amazing the painting subject models everything.

here is the next Marine , this time a M60 gunner standing upright shooting. Would this be possible without supporting the gun on a wall etc for support?

You could fire the M60 standing upright but you would risk it waving all over the place unless you were very strong.

The last miniature in this batch. A kneeling M60 gunner. A joy to paint.
