The enemy ranks swell

 I've managed a few bits for my Vietnam collection, they are more figures from Empress miniatures. I really am loving painting these guys, this time it's a command section with a little bit more firepower. The sculpts are beautiful little figures, I know I'm getting boring repeating it but that's how I see it. The figures clean up nicely, a minor amount of work required to get them ready for paint. Then it's the fun bit colouring them in as I like to call it. Research is always a fun part of painting and I think I managed to get the camo Cape looking better this time, I know colours would vary in real life and wear and tear would have an effect on clothing so trying to replicate is have the fun. I'm no expert when it comes to most of the figures I paint but I like to think they are reasonable in their appearance. So on to the figures and hopefully I've at least managed to capture enough of the essence of The Nam.

I'm never keen on every figure looking identical in matching uniforms.


The MG is the first of the more heavy support for my squads.


The character and detail is just waiting to come to life.


As always the photos are average but hopefully good enough to get a good idea of how superbly these guys paint up.

So what's next? Only time will tell! I have some transports to paint and build so they may just be my next post.
   As always thanks for looking, all the very best Cheers for now Russ
