Platoon is a 1986 American war film written and directed by Oliver Stone, starringFTom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Charlie Sheen, Keith David, Kevin Dillon, John C. McGinley, Forest Whitaker, and Johnny Depp.Here is my take of Staff Sergeant Robert "Bob" Barnes and Sergeant Elias. Both figures are a set from the Wargames illustrated magazine .

Fantastic! I still remember the first time I saw that move when I was 18. I was stuck in my seat at the end and could not move.

Nice paint work and great looking figures.

IIRC, that movie is based on Oliver Stone's time in-country.
