A mad week at work has been helped by painting a new and unexpected project. My USMC figures need someone to fight. In this case the NVA. In all conflicts there are at least 2 sides and it is always best to be on side of the people. So this probably makes the NVA the good guys, other opinions are available and mine will change depending on the scenario and mood.
The NVA generally fielded troops in 2 uniforms, green and khaki, with those in green mainly fighting in the jungle a those in khaki in the more coastal areas. obviously in reality these go mixed. So I've painted both
9 man section
7 man section - I miscounted
8 man squad - still miscounted
8 man squad - my maths has been crap this week
All units need support and these a 2 DShK 12.7mm HMGs with one set up for AAA. The carriage quickly becomes a tripod so dual function for both
Really nice figures
Right my VC have arrived, massively cheap from Westwind, not the best figs, but not bad. Will use 4 of them to complete the NVA platoons
Scores on the doors
38x28mm figs = 190
2xcrew served guns - 20
total 210
Nice work Martin. I’ll be looking forward to more on this project.

DeleteThey look good but I would love to see some better photos of these. Martin, they’re a bit washed out.
ReplyDeletecheers, I'll repost them with the USMC when I've done the VC. Having new lighting issues and a new photo editor
