All
I've been busy painting for awhile now but had been playing so many games I hadn't had time to post pics of recent projects I'd finished. I'd had a hankering for some Vietnam gaming in 6mm, cavalry (both air and mechanized) style, company-sized fights on a 4' x 4' or even 6' x 4' table. Previously I'd painted up some 6mm infantry for Vietnam (only used them in modern games so far), so I decided to add a bunch of vehicles, aircraft, and terrain. Below documents the completed project (minus the infantry); all vehicles are 1/285 scale from GHQ.
The whole mess, ready to go. A platoon of M-60s, a platoon of M-551 Sheridans, three platoons of M-113 ACAVs, a Monitor, two PBRs, ten sampans, two M-48s, four LVTP-5 AMTRACs, an F-4 Phantom, a CH-47, six UH-1 slicks, two UH-1 gunships, two OH-6s, and a bunch of villages. To see a bunch of closeups, please check the blog at:
linkI'm hoping to get them on the table soon as part of my fictional "South Leon" campaign over on my Cuba Libre blog. So, if you fancy seeing some 6mm Vietnam gaming in a very Hollywood-fashion (Hueys, tracks, and PBRs all over the place), and don't mind me calling it Cuban democratic forces in a fictional African country, stay tuned!
