Last week I got the new Vietnamese civilians from Empress sculpted by Paul Hicks. Very nice figures indeed . I ordered each figure twice as I wanted to change one each by swiping heads or adding some green stuff to get an even wider variety of miniatures. Before conversion:

I think the most enjoyable part of modeling is the conversion work and imagination that goes into swaps of body parts like this. The end result is something totally unique and, as here, exceptional. Painting, basing etc is just hard work. The long hair is great and the scarves go a long way to reinforce the join. |

Legion 4 has a very nasty suspicious mind. How can he tar them all with the same proverbial brush? Some are surely NVA and not VC. One of those guys I do admit, if challenged, "would not have a leg to stand on". (Actually I do wonder if that expression means anything across the Pond) |

Good point deadhead !
And yes we Yanks get that "wouldn't have a leg to stand on" … We are not barbarians ! 😎

Excellent – and I'll have pt have some, but what we really want is urban civilians. |

True, not to mention ARVN….. But I think I may have mentioned them before, without result. Still these civilians and the Australians are encouraging in that folk are getting beyond the "obvious" participants. |
