My Vietnam war project is progressing very quickly. I bought some VC from Westwind - 40 metal 28mm figures for £30! Ridiculous bargain. The figures are terrible. Poor sculpts with huge amounts of flash.
They have painted up quite well, like Old Glory - unpainted figures look terrible, painted ones look great. These aren't that good but for 75p each I'm not complaining
There are 40 of them armed with LMGs, AK47s and rifles
Also made up some more jungle, this is 210 cubic inches and brings my jungle total up to 5 square feet!
I've also tinkered about with my previous photos of the USMC and NVA to show the figures better
This was what they actually looked like
Off to by a few more USMC to give me a full platoon with support, I was too M60 heavy
Scores on the doors
40 VC in 4 prone = 190
210cubic inches jungle = 20
total = 210
Quality paint on low end minis. They look great

DeleteGreat work Martin. I love those Empress NVA, especially the DShK teams. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteEmpress are brilliant figs, off to buy a few more. Cheers
DeleteThis project seems to be going along pretty speedily. Figures look great to me!
ReplyDeleteYip, banging them out. Not bad seeing as they weren't on the to do list at all
DeleteThe west wind figures have painted up really well, storming through this project!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
thanks. on a mission
DeleteThey came out nicely in the end!
ReplyDeleteTw,they will do
DeleteSuperb! Love the Jungle
ReplyDeletecheers, not of Stalingrad proportions but I'm only a mere mortal
DeleteSmart work Martin.
ReplyDeleteSurprised Westwind were of poor quality, they don't usually fall under my "life's too short to paint shit figures" rule.
Ta. I was surprised. Westwind normally good but expensive. Looks like a line they picked up from elsewhere or very old. but 75p each, cheaper than plastics and they at VC - Vietnamese for target
