"Cronkite's Film Crew" Topic

To be honest I wanted to wait until the whole scene was painted and based. But at my current rate of work……….

Cronkite himself was the easiest (and most effective I think). These two are based on the Gringos40 mortar crew (ideal as largely unarmed) with bit of limb sawing and Greenstuff. Many a cable to be added.

Let us just call this work in progress

Great work! Love to see the painted product

"And that's the way it is !"

But, you have to make walter lean way to the left.

What the rest of the civilized world call the center?

civilized world call the center?

Only if you are waaay to the left !

Jane Fonda in an NVA helmet next !?!?

Left-right-or-center, what is amazing to me is how you did the shirts/jackets!

Thanks indeed. Plastering on Greenstuff is not too difficult. The trick is patience and do it in stages. These jackets could not be simpler…no pockets, no lapels…let us face it, that is what the professionals do!

Never occurred to me that Cronkite could still stir up emotion as does Hanoi Jane (totally different league of course). Was he wrong, even with the military defeat of NVA and NLF? (DISCUSS, they then say in exams)

I have found three of four images of him with his film crew esp. the one above and also walking behind a jeep. He has a microphone, he is doing interviews, but all I ever find is his 30 minutes broadcast once home. I did, only yesterday, finally find a very short clip of him in a ruined street in Hue on YouTube.

Good thing you have a sound guy to dub combat sounds in the background of his interviews. :)

I just model of Walter himself, from Pulp Figures

That is brilliant. I had no idea anyone had modelled him and will chase this up.

I see they even do a Catherine Leroy figure, or will if Kickstart works out. I have the Full Metal Miniatures version of her, half painted right now…but this looks good too.

Thanks
