From DennisC: Vietnamese People's Army 15mm (200pts)

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you guys are doing well with painting, I've taken advantage of the Painting Challenge to get an older section of the pile painted: my North Vietnamese Army in 15mm.   I have two full NVA infantry companies and 2 medium Viet Cong infantry companies with all the fixings, plus some PT-76s and some T-54s (Chinese Type-59)

The army built, ready to rock, Dec 20th


NVA Divisional Support, primed black, drybrushed zenithal light grey



NVA BN HQ, 6x 82mm RCL guns, 3x 75mm RCL guns, 3x 82mm Mortars painted with mainly GW contrast paints in the 'slapchop' method


                                                           6x ZPU-1 AA guns and crew

By my reckoning, thats 18 crew served weapons (4pts each)  and 64 infantry and crew (2pts each) for a grand total of ~200pts.  Thats more than my output in Challenge XI !

I have 12x PT-76s on the workbench for next post.      Cheers!

Excellent work Dennis! These support units look terrific and I especially like the red hued groundwork, which seems very apropos to the region. With these done, you'll have the proper forces at your disposal to push the Imperialists from Southeast Asia. On to the Delta! 

Well done and keep up the steam!

  1. Great work there. I tried with 28mm to play Charlie Don't surf but it's clearly not the scale to use
