From ClintB - 20mm Viet Minh heavy weapon (22 points)

 As I continue with my Vietnam Project I am now just rounding out the corners. Which is not the same as nearly finished as we all know wargames projects are never truly finished. So I am now past critical mass for a game and just adding optional extras.

Todays optional extra is a 57mm (Calibre) recoilless rifle. The figures are all 20mm (1/72nd scale) and mostly Britannia miniatures with an additional dead from SHQ. There was a delay in doing these as I bought the crew at one show thinking the weapon was included. Yeah I got that wrong and had to but the weapon at the next show as it would be not worth the postage to send for it singly.

While the SHQ dead figure was one that I have had sitting on my desk waiting to get painted but just not getting around to. That is kind of life for me. But they all get done eventually. Britannia Viet Minh are a bit chunky with exaggerated clothing folds which gives them a slight cartoon feel which surprisingly I am really enjoying.

Britannia do make for larger RR's yet some how I felt that the 57mm was both more likely (as I know that bore was used by the communist forces) and more practical if you have to had handle it through a jungle.

There are 3 crew. The commander who might actually be spotting for the team as he has binoculars, a loader (holding a shell) and a gunner (not holding a shell.  The actual rifle is on a separate base for easy casualty removal. The base being 20mm x 30mm as opposed to the figure bases which are 20mm square. Other that the undercoat and a dark grey wash it is just 2 shades of the same green and now ready for action.

Nice work Clint! It's always a nuisance when you get home to find that a pack doesn't contain everything you expected it to.
So, for scoring we have 3.5 foot and a crew-served weapon in 20mm - that will be 22 points.
