Really nice brush work 8)

But the rolled up sleeves really ruin the camouflage for the M79 guy  lol

Very nice work 8)

Who make these figures? Is the M113 a 1/48th plastic kit?
A CANADIAN local hobby store with a small selection of historical wargames miniatures (mainly from Warlords). They also have a great selection of paint and hobby accessories from Vallejo, Army painter, AK Interactive, Green Stuff World and more.; https://www.kingdomtitans.ca/us/

Who makes the figures/transport?
Nice paint job!
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Lovely work on the camo!
The figures are Baker Co. special forces (Have to be some of my favourite 'Nam spec-ops types)....

Yes, figures are Baker Co. The M113 is a Corgi (I need to weather it...)

Thank you all !  ;)

They're awesome, I love the face camouflage.
As it has been said, rolled up sleeves defeat the purpose (and actually the guy with signal pistol would've camoed his hands, too), but from gaming and painting point of view, I prefer it that way. The contrast it adds really makes them vibrant. Very well done!
I'll look into the vehicle, I'm hunting for some cheaper 28mm vehicles myself!

I thought the Corgi M113 was 1/43 scale?  ???

These looks just great! Is it really the same sculptor as the other Baker miniatures?

The Vietnam range by Baker company is pretty much all sculpted by Robi Baker, except, I think, the civilian packs.
