I've finally decided to return to my Blog, life as moved on alot since I last posted. My passion for Vietnam was spurred on by a Christmas from a very good friend. The book got me wanting to add to my stalled collection and where better to restart but Special Forces! Empress miniatures really seem to have hit my idea of Vietnam bang on target. So without more of me rattling on here's the latest recruits to make into the ranks.
AUSTRALIAN SAS
I picked up both packs that Empress make, the first all Tigerstripe. The second pack will be ERDL camo, well thats the plan. Neither pattern are easy to paint but Tigerstripe appeals that little bit more.
The face camo is something I've kept putting off due to confidence really. I'm not sure I've quite nailed it but it's a good starting point. This guys wearing gloves, not that they show up very well
Sometimes it's the small details that make or break a figure, even if it's just a mix of uniform and kit. I'm pretty sure these guys took weapons they trusted rather then just the standard infantry weapons that were issued.
I love the pose of the guy below, bursting into action
The guys all together
So my first foray back into Nam is underway, the next batch will be more Australian SAS so please feel free to pop on back.
Comments are welcome all the best
Cheers Russ
