Looking for early 80's troops in steel pot for Cold War gone Hot gaming, I know elhiem does I think 4 figures but no support weapons. So can anyone help? I'm getting ready I think to part with my 28mm Mongrel US Marines and S&S AAV-7s |

I think you may need to get troops in the Kevlar pot, then swap heads (say, Raventhorpe's separate heads). |

Liberation Miniatures do a squad with 'pots',M16's and backpacks
..also a set of three M60 gunners
also does 'Iranians' in M1 pot but with G3's
.and some 'African' mg crew etc in 'pots' for support weapon crews
.I thought that Combat Miniatures from Stonewall Figures had some but I can't see them listed

Eureka had some Vietnam era troops, would fit fine. If you don't mind a little earlier, Brigade Games made some packs for 1950's as well. |

I've heard of HotSpur but can't find them anywhere, is the company out of business? |

Limited selection I had these a number of years ago. Steel pots and the right 782 gear. link |

Also Elhiem Minis. Great to deal with but not a large selection. link Give Tony a yell at Platoon 20 (East Riding Miniatures) at one time Platoon 20 had a bunch of 1980's US figures in steel pots.I don't see them in his current catalog but he may have some still in stock or if he has the molds, be willing to cast them for you. Tony is a really good guy also. |

Yeah, Nam figs will work. |

Just checked Platoon 20 and the Vietnam figures they have can be used with no problem. I've had good experiences with RAFM tho the shipping can be slow. |
