Anyone know if there is any company in the USA who stocks Flashpoint Miniatures Vietnam range?

I don't think so. I wish Jimmy was a bit more present. Been hoping for technicals a while now.

I used to but only have a handful of packs left at ScaleCreep.com, mostly older odd ball stuff. I'm pretty sure it is OZ direct only at this point.

Great stuff, and Jimmi is first rate (tho slow on email some times as he has a farm to run).

He's fine to deal with direct, I don't think I waited more than ~6 weeks from order to arrival. Which ain't bad for 'down under' shipping, I've waited longer for SAL shipping from Hobbylink Japan!

Hi all, thanks gents , Yes ; at present it is direct from Australia only. I can generally get things away in the first week and they will generally arrive in a fortnight from that in USA or UK and Europe. I might take longer with big or 'personalised' requests , but I'll get a good result . ..I've outfitted a few NVA Sapper Companies in the last months.

I've been away a little bit in the last weeks but am getting back on deck now. I'm stocktaking and restocking in 'the shop' at the moment, and about to add the new sampans and 'cemetery' terrain packs which I've only just had the chance to production-mould.
I haven't been as active on the 'forums and boards' out therein the last weeks either but I will be moreso from about now as there are a few interesting things happening .

I'm heading off to play a few games as I write this now on a friday afternoon. ..hahaha ! ..most important !

sorry forgot to add @ private Snafu ; yes i was considering doing 'technicals' aboout four years ago but didn't seem to get so much interest.
At the time too , the 3D printing route was /has evolved and 1/100 vehicles are now so easy and cheap to source , I'm not looking at doing this for modern 'technicals' . There are a few miniature companies doing a range of these already too.

I have jumped forward a bit and just done a V100 armoured car . I want to do the 'open version' of these too .

I DO still plan to do a 1/100 model of a Renault 2CV , and a 'tuk-tuk' (Lambretta 550) model with lots of scope for loads, taxis . etc .

Hope this helps .
