No, you can't beat your originals and when they're such a cool bunch as yours Dal, cool doesn't even begin to describe it!

Just don't tell anyone I said that cos I'll deny it!!

Actually I quite like EE's and the fact you can make even an Atomic Man look cool shows what a great kitbasher you are!

Thanks James!, very kind indeed .

You should do something with them James, they are after all, the guys who it all started with . I wanted a modern black ops type look for mine, tho, now I am thinking of a uniform for them?, so they are a dressed as a squad , It never ends!

Anyone who pops into chat will know that I have been working on these guys for a while. I have had a lot of help with these guys, brownboots, salbal to mention a few, also chip I haven't forgotten about getting back in touch, it just I have had to put this project on the back burner for a while.
Inspired by Lowtowns Vietnam troops, I thought I would have a bash too. I have finished three of the five, but alas, have only found time to photograph two at the moment. So here is the Sarge, and the heavy weapons guy, enjoy!

Sarge







Heavy Weapons Guy







More too follow soon as and when I trackdown the remaining small pieces . Thanks for looking!

your Nam grunts look great Dal !

Cheers Jay!

They look awesome Dal. Great work! I love the sarge but the M60 guy looks so cool.

Was he inspired by the Vietnam memorial statue?



You've really caught the feel of it if he is!

Cheers Steve! Really pleased that you like the first two .

I did look at lots of images of that era, and helmet designs, trying to get the eel right, but I must admit, I din't see the statue image, but now having seen it, there might now have to be a sixth member to the squad!

Really appreciate the feedback mate

Great looking 'Nam figures Dal!!!
