All,

I have been remiss! Slacking in my blogging duties! For quite some time now I've been working on Vietnam stuff in 15mm. I've painted up and posted US Marines, US Army, ARVN, Australians, North Vietnamese Army, Vietcong, helicopters, tanks, amtracs. I've even posted three battle reports:

But what I haven't posted is all my wonderful terrain! So first, understand that I've had quite a few trees of various types for quite some time, so I'm not showing those here. But I picked up more trees, as well as a bunch of village stuff, and that's what I want to show you here. Most everything is from Jimmi at Flashpoint Minis, though there are some banana trees from Pegasus and a few odds and ends from Flytrap Minis.

Here's all the stuff, with the intent being to make my table look better and more authentic. I think it works ;)

A Buddhist shrine with coconut tree and bamboo. Yeah, I know bamboo is green, I just wanted it to stand out. In any case, to see a whole lot more photos, please check the blog at:

Having finished up Operation Pay-Off, I've got time on my hands and lots of ideas. One that has recently popped back in my head is a return to Ivan's "No End In Sight" platoon-level rules. We'll see what happens.

V/R,
Jack

Jack,

Nice! Where did you get that shrine? How about the pots?

Just so you know I'm trying to sell a painted battalion of Aussies for Vietnam and they are made by flashpoint.

The bamboo is by Flashpoint (they come in metal).

Joe – Everything but some of the weapons and packs in the last few pics (on the blog) are from Flashpoint Minis.

IM – Sure, thanks man, but I've already got some.

EC has got it on the bamboo. The shrine is plastic, as are the hootches, the foot bridges, the walls, the fish ponds, and the pots. Most of the trees (all the ones based in groups) are plastic, but the single trees are metal.

V/R,
Jack

Great stuff!

Thanks DSG!

I'm not really a Sci-Fi guy, and I don't recall what I was searching for (maybe Star Wars? My boys love Star Wars), but I recently ended up on your website. Some pretty cool stuff, I really like some of the 'low tech' troops and vehicles.

Now, if you make something I can use as Stormtroopers and Imperial Walkers, we definitely need to talk ;)

V/R,
Jack
