Very nice indeed! Can I ask where you got the decals from (on the M48 tank)?

Star and serial number are from  1/56th Rubicon WW2 US vehicle sheet.

The load classification was kitbashed from 3 separate old Dom's Decals* ones I've had for years.

Star Decals do some 1/72 decals for M48s and Mec Models do too. I use both for 28mm vehicles and think they look fine... worth a look.

Outstanding work. And what rules are people using for 'Nam? I know there's a version of Chain of Command developed in Oz, but I have never tried it out.

That M48 looks just great, and I see Rubicon are doing a Centurion for the Aussies. It's going to be hard to resist...

I've got FoF and the Vietnam supplement but am not exactly enamoured.
A lot of folks seem to be modding Bolt Action but, imo, the only way BA could be a worse game is if Chris Peers* had wrote it.

I suspect that if 'Nam is going to have long term gaming potential eather than be this year's trendy period it will need something completely new.... a bit like SAGA did for DA gaming.

That's going to 1/56th.... Empress certainly have got one coming in 1/50th that will fit with the otger vehicles already available.



* I'm 100% sure that Mr Peers is an absolutely spiffing chap and extremely knowledgeable.... I just loathe his rules with a vengeance!

All the painting on this thread is excellent but I particularly love that rusty Ontos!
