GREEN BERET MEET THE TEAM

Thanks for that just got my computer up and running again so had to put some new pics up

A fine display for sure, that uniform is one of the very memorable ones from the sunny painthead era

I remember buying a GB set back in the day from my local toyshop called Joyland, I eagerly piled all my hard earned pennies onto the glass shop counter, it was a (NOISY) transaction that almost broke the glass lol! I remember rushing home to dress one of my PH's in the outfit. That week, Mr enemy Redbox Cammy & the Johnny Viet-Combat Unit were ousted from their ambush point down the end of my garden, my GB won every battle for months via foxholes in the overgrown grass. I definitely got play-value out of that set.

I hope you don't mind my little wander down memory lane.

Those are some of the best kind of wanders, Clive. Thanks for the story!

Nice wander Clive mate and no I certainly dont mind, you were extra lucky to have had this set as a kid I didn't even know of it's existance until I joined AMMO But are now making up for the lost time we had 2 very small toy shops in my town of then home of Thirsk, Wrights and Foxy's but both had only a very few uniform sets so I missed out on quite a lot of good stuff back then I'm certainly not missing out again

My latest photo shoot with new team









Happy Christmas from Hawkster and the boys

Great set of pics Hawkeye , gotta love a Green beret or four ! or eleven !

Those punjis do look nasty! You got a brave group of GB's there Ian, they're definitely in the shiit and things could get even rougher if the Mrs. finds them playing in her spring sprouts...

Great one!!! Looking forward to the next installment!
