Small update of what I have been up to.
VC Supply base



Done a few more bits and pieces. Still to get them finished and pictures taken though.
Rice paddies were done but one started to warp after a couple of days drying. Trying painting the varnish on the bottom to see if it brings it back straigh again.
Been building more jungle as well, in the back ground of the above pic

Where's Charlie 

Hiding in the elaborate system of tunnels Colin is going to build 

Great stuff so far.

Not painted too many yet just one small squad.
Not my best work either!
They are very small


Hard to get a good photo as well.
One of my paddy fields as well in the photo.

[Malamute]

There's Charlie

Most excellent, loving the paddy field

[commissarmoody]

They look great to me! Keep up the good work, I will be stealing ideas for my viet-nam project when I finaly get around to it.

Gamer Mac,
What did you use for the "bamboo" for the pig pen? plastic straws? Thanks

looking good Colin,

When are we getting to play it?

I've got a packet of Light Green Field grass, which arrived today in my Antenociti order, and I really doubt that I'm going to use it all. I can pass you some on Wednesday if you want? Its not neon green but I have found a few pictures of paddy fields that are a similar colour




Things are progressing nicely. Have you decided on a rule set?

Cheers
Andy

I used some small bamboo sticks from a garden wind thingy that we got as a present once. A load of crap but the sticks are great for building stuff. Similar to bamboo kabab skewers. Tied together with some thread.
Some more pics


Used them to build a bamboo forest as well. In this pic.


Andy any donations welcome.
Its ready for a very small trial game when ever you are!
Just to try out the rules, FNG from Two hour wargames.
Roughly 10 figure each side.

I really like the pigsty, did you varnish it? because the ground looks horribly wet and sloppy, exactly what our looking for! What did you use for the corrugated iron? It doesn't look like corrugated cardboard.

As for a game, I'm back to work tomorrow (feeling better) so pretty much any time. I'm free next Saturday?

Cheers
Andy

[gamer Mac]

The mud is just a coat of GW Ink over the normal cover. The corrugated iron is plastic sheet stuff, good when you want to see both sides or the thickness.
Will let you know about next Saturday, but sounds good.

[Dr. The Viking]

Very nice. It will be a rich table.

[marianas_gamer]

Damn, bamboo to represent bamboo, who would have thunk it?      Looks good, now I have to find some of my own or just trim some from a bamboo grove out here

Looks good guys,
We're off to the Nam tonight using the FUBAR rules, then back again in a couple of weeks to playtest a set for someone.

Not great photos but this is my first finished local VC squad.
7 man squad including and RPG 2 and a DP LMG. For those of you who can count there are nine figures. I have the LMG crew walking and deployed.
The faces are horrible so don’t look too closely. Not all my fault, some of the sculpted faces are really weird. Apart from that really nice figures with good poses, weapons and details





I have a second squad nearly finished on my painting table as well.
