West Wind Nam Range
« on: February 12, 2009, 11:40:37 PM »
Hi guys,
Does anyone have any links to photos of painted Nam figures from West Wind?

I'm particularly interested in the U.S. Platoon pack which contains 40 figures.

Only 18 are pictured on the website though, do you know if there are 40 different poses in the set or are there multiples?

Thanks in advance

I could be wrong but I think that this guy used WW Nam figs for his units. Might help you?

Thanks guys,
Keith: Those pics are West Wind so thanks very much.

Lowtardog: There's just something about the TAG stuff I'm not sure about. I don't think I'm that keen on them.

Can I recommend Force of Arms? I started with TAG but have switched to FoA instead. They have a little more period feel to them IMO - but the range is limited.
I have some WW but find them a bit hit or miss. Casting is a real issue on some of them.

I like TAG and FoA better :)
FoA especially looks like they're straight out of a movie :)

Hi There!!

A couple of years ago i bought som of the West Wind Nam minis!!!
The sculpts are not very nice!! Some of the heads and poses looks very odd - you might say plain ugly!!
But thats just my opinion!!

sey you

Lars
