I also happened to finish up a
few extra Americans I acquired recently - like, within the last year or so – I had,
at one point, more or less finished up all my Vietnam figures… but then picked
up a few more from another fellow blogger off the AAG
Forum… I think it was Xander…?
I had done a post a few years pack
showcasing the collection - Vietnam
in 28mm - since then I have finished the PAVN and a few of the other
things that were still unpainted at the time (and rebased some of the heavy
weapon teams). One of these days I should update the 28mm
Vietnam Gallery Page. I don’t have a whole lot to finish up to call
this collection complete – so maybe I should push to get this all finished up
before I lose impetus.
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
A platoon command section for the Australians. The Platoon
Commander (a Lieutenant) is carrying the Owen Carbine, The Platoon Sergeant and
Runner carry SLRs, and signaler doesn’t seem to have anything…? Darn it, I just
remembered I’d ordered a pack of spare SLRs at one point I could have one lying
beside him on the ground – perhaps I’ll have to go find them and add one now… (Figures are from The
Assault Group).
Finally, some Americans with
M-79 Grenade Launchers from, I think, Baker
Company (these are figures I got off the forum…). I really like the
poses of the figures, I have a few more to paint up. If I didn’t already have a
whole damn platoon of Americans, I’d be tempted to pick a few more up… maybe
I’ll pick up some “characters” at some point…
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Perhaps some more Vietnam stuff… and maybe a bit of planning
for the winter and next year…
Lovely work Tim. I really like that radio operator.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful troops!
ReplyDeleteNice job, liked very much of those LRRP troopers!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting, as we came to expect from you.
ReplyDeleteNice, I particularly like the LRRPs.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work as always, Tim. The details on the grenades and camo work are wonderful - same as the 1st Air Cav patches. Best, Dean
